Ed. Raphael I am in complete agreement. Many of his friends were knighted but most of them married more than once or twice. Whilst Forbes had no need to expose his body, on screen,nor did he take part in the Olympic Games in pursuit of popularity, he did greatly support the Conservative party, especially Margaret Thatcher, who he filmed, in his own home, for her party political broadcasts on more than one occasion.
