Unreferenced material moved to talk:

The course completed, Bates returned to Ireland to make his stage debut in Shaw's You Never Can Tell at The Gate Theatre, Dublin, in 1963.
A career in repertory theatre followed, and the young actor gained experience in productions ranging from Hedda Gabler to raucous comedies.
Around the same time, he appeared in the sitcom Farrington of the F.O. (1986) with Angela Thorne and Joan Sims.
The large metal cross marking his grave at Chiswick New Cemetery bears the epitaph "Don't Worry. Be Happy!"

Please feel free to add back to the main article once good references are found. James Kevin McMahon (talk) 12:29, 17 December 2025 (UTC)Reply
