He was superhero Captain Crimson in a BBC kids show

Captain Crimson was a segment of the BBC schools TV series Look and Read in the 1990s and 2000s, covering Language and Reading for primary school pupils - he played that lead character in it.

Reported death

Are we actually sure of his death? News reports that I've found online are very thin. Are they sufficiently reliable?--A bit iffy (talk) 23:56, 18 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

On BBC Two tonight (Sun.17.Nov.2013, 22:00-22:30) there's a programme called Respect: A Felix Dexter Special retrospective. And a lot in obits or other press can be found; so yes. Jimthing (talk) 20:33, 17 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Date of birth

I tagged "citation needed" because I don't find any source earlier than the wikipedia article. The date of birth was added here on 19 October. The Telegraph and Guardian obituaries have it, but they were written after the relevant Wikipedia edit ... and the Grauniad is gloriously inconsistent about it. Andrew Dalby 09:17, 26 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Another editor has now cited the Daily Telegraph obituary as source. I won't change the page any more, because I have asked the Guardian readers' editor about this detail, so I'll leave off till they reply. Clearly (from the edit date) the Telegraph cannot have been our source -- more likely the Telegraph borrowed from us, and the Guardian too. I don't know when the date first appeared on IMDb, but probably that's borrowed from us too ... Several obituaries were written before the Telegraph one, and none of them have any date of birth.

The editor who inserted the date of birth tells me (see my talk page) that he might have copied it unchanged when he borrowed the template from another page. It's easily done. Andrew Dalby 13:50, 26 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Absolutely Fabulous

Shouldn't it be mentioned that Felix played a part in Absolutely Fabulous as Saffy's husband? 86.190.229.93 (talk) 14:33, 8 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
