Ronald Hines

Ronald Charles Andrew Hines (20 June 1929 – 28 March 2017) was a British television actor. He was born in London.[1]

He had a lengthy career, but possibly his best-known role was as the husband in three of the four series of Not in Front of the Children.[2] He also appeared on Jackanory several times, usually narrating stories about the Wombles. He also starred in the 1959–60 sitcom Tell It to the Marines.[3]

In 1966, Hines played Eric Redman in the 11th episode of the 5th series of the popular British action adventure The Saint, the episode entitled "Paper Chase".[4]

Hines appeared as John Copeland in the crime drama series The Professionals (episode "The Acorn Syndrome") in 1980. In 1988 he played Home Secretary Henry Matthews in the TV film Jack the Ripper, which starred Michael Caine.[5] He portrayed Hoofd Commissaris Samson in Thames Television's Amsterdam-set detective series Van der Valk (1991-92).

He also appeared in a number of films, starting with Dunkirk, in 1958 and finishing with Rough Cut, in 1980.[6] All his subsequent screen roles were on television rather than in films.

Hines died in Midhurst, West Sussex, England, on 28 March 2017, at the age of 87.[7]
