I had an amusing lunch with Michael Adeane, the Queen’s Private Secretary, the other day. He told me that when he first joined the Royal Household, he noticed George VI eyeing his wardrobe with disfavour, so he decided to buy a new overcoat. He found out from the King’s valet who his tailor was & had a new coat made. The bill was enormous, but he felt very proud of himself when he wore it for the first time. All the King said was: ‘What a most extraordinary coat. I suppose you inherited it.’
- Kenneth Rose in a letter to his parents, 23 November 1957 (Who’s In, Who’s Out: The Journals of Kenneth Rose)

Happy Birthday Scottish actor David Rintoul.
Born David Wilson; 29th November 1948, I assume there was another actor called David Wilson so chose Rintoul. David was raised in Rubislaw Den North in Aberdeen educated at Robert Gordon’s College in the City.
He started acting at a young age and attended the Aberdeen Children’s Theatre and was a Scottish Country dancer at Queen’s Cross Church where he won many awards. His father was Doctor Leslie Wilson who helped advance elderly care services throughout Aberdeenshire. His mother, Helen, was a PE teacher. He graduated from Edinburgh University with an MA and then attended RADA.
David’s first role after RADA was in Aladdin at the Connaught Theatre in Worthing, Sussex. The first acting credit on screen I can find for Rintoul is in the RLS dramatization Weir of Hermiston, a BBC Scotland series from the early 80’s, Elizabeth might be interested to know that the city of Hermiston, in Oregon took its name from the book.
Since the 70’s Rintoul has been very busy, appearing in TV shows through the decades, including, in the 70’s , The Flight of the Heron, Crown Court and The Mallens, the 80’s saw him in Pride and Prejudice, Big Deal and Poirot. In the 90’s he was in, what is arguably his most famous role as Doctor Finlay opposite to Ian Bannen as Doctor Cameron as well as Hornblower and Taggart, into the noughties and we saw David appearing in Sweet Medicine, Taggart (again) and the voice of Mr Biscuit in all three Wallace and Gromit films.
Up to date David has been in Midsomer Murders as well as voicing several video games as diverse as Star Wars: The Old Republic and Blades of Time. He also appeared in an episode of Game of Thrones and has voiced several animations, the most well known of which is Peppa pig where he played three different characters, in a more adult role he was in the excellent In Plain Sight as Chief Constable Renfrew with Dougie Henshall and Martin Compston. The last thing he has appeared in is The Crown, as Michael Adeane, private secretary to Queen Elizabeth.
He appears often on the stage and has even been back to Aberdeen to act in a pantomime at His Majesty’s Theatre, and spent time on the West End stage in Dirty Dancing as Baby’s Dad Dr Jake Houseman
David’s latest film role was in the Hollywood action film The Protégé, he has since voiceda number of video games and a has three projects on the go, the animation Jungle Beat 2: The Past, Bairns TV series Mittens & Pants and the short called Not Dark Yet

What kind of...????
Is this an intervention? Do you need an entire family present to tell a boy he's going to Wales for three months?
Peter Morgan, are you responsible for the ridiculousness of this set-up?
