John Arthur Duttine - b. 1949

One of our great, unsung actors, I've been watching John Duttine since the BBC series "To Serve Them All my Days" (1980). More recently he portrayed Sergeant George Miller in "Heartbeat" (ITV 1992-2010) from 2005 until the series' end. That's what I'll concentrate on here: Sgt Miller in full period police uniform and black leather gloves. Would you expect anything else?

Here, a series publicity still, looking stern, as he usually did (although he later turned out to have a more sentimental side).

This time it's the villain threatening him with a revolver who's wearing the leather gloves (although I seem to recall that, in this scene, they both were). Shame I couldn't have found a picture of the two handsome, gloved men.

And, finally, Sgt Miller in action, making his arrest, hat askew, and calling base on his car radio with leather glove front and centre. Beautiful.
