I have to admit, that I wouldn't have thought Sir Patrick was a 15 year old school leaver.

Oh I would. Different times.

RIP Cecil Dormand, a lovely tribute.

I knew several actors who were 15 year old school-leavers, but they tended to fight against using Received Pronunciation and seemed to have little interest in Shakespeare. But, yes, that was in the 1980s, not the late 1950s.
