SUNDAY TELEVISION AND RADIO 3 9 THE GUARDIAN Saturday April 9 1988 Obituary: Sir John Clements seasoiros Watching brief Sandy Smithies Robbtn Island Prison: My University. (Channel 4, 7.1 5). A revealing view of life in South Africa's maximum security prison, from some who've survived it. Undy Wilson's film records a conversation between three political prisoners who served ten or 20 years in Robben Island's "special section" with Nelson Mandela and Walter Slsulu. Together they recall the solidarity of the black prison community, the strength they gained from each other, and the personal struggles to survive.

Gentlemen and Players: Last Man In. (ITV, 7.45). "A story of money, class and rivalry" promises TVS of its glossy new drama serial, a kind of Dallas In Hampshire "set in the world of City finance and gracious country homes." Nicholas Clay and Brian Protheroe play ok) arid deadly foes Savage (ruthless, rich, self-made adventurer, doing a runner from Africa am) out to settle in the shires) and Beaumont (ruthless, rich, old-money banker, bent on keeping his upstart opponent out of his village). Every Breath You Take. (ITV, 9.0).

Written by Nell Dunn of Up The Junction and Steaming renown, this Granada drama is about the effect of a diabetes diagnosis not so much on 13-year-old chorister Tom (Charlie Condou) as on his mother. Connie Booth plays divorcee Imogen, finding it hard to cope with her son's illness and making it an excuse to neglect both her business ana her new relationship. The play, directed by Paul Seed, also features Brian Protheroe, switching quickly from his Gentlemen and Players persona, as Imogen's romantic involvement. wanted to lure out of London and away from lucrative studio Charlie Condou as Tom in Every Breath You Take Sir John Clements: Chichester climax of career tain seedy grandeur in the title role of Anouilh's The Director of the Opera. These were always exactly the qualities required, for Clements was never less than intelligent, painstaking and efficient, but he was never more than that either, and the spark that distinguishes the few actors of genius never quite caught fire.

But, then, those in whom it did would almost certainly be found wanting in the managerial and administrative skills that Clements had in abundance. On taking over Chichester, Clements could offer a top salary of only 70 a week (which by 1973 had soared to 90). At the same time he needed to extend the length of the summer season, a deterrent to the big names whom he Birthdays Today: Severiano Balles-teros, golfer, 31; Jean-Paul Belmondo, actor, Brian Cubbon, permanent undersec retary of state, Home Office, 60; Antal Dorati, composer, conductor, 82; Lord (Jerry) Fitt, former SDLP MP for Belfast West, 62; Hannah Gordon, actress, 47; Hugh Heffner, publisher, Jackson, former post office union leader, now bookseller, 63; Alan Knott, cricketer, 42; Tom Lehrer, song-writer, mathematician, 60; Vincent O'Brien, race-horse trainer, 71; Alexander Moulton, bicycle and coach designer, 68; Sir Michael Palliser, chairman, council of the international institute for strategic studies, 66; Carl Perkins, rock-and-roll musician, 56; Richard Groves, professor ffoir sqDD IR JOHN CLEMENTS was a man for all seasons at least for "eieht seasons at Chich- ester, wnere ne succeeuea unv-ier as director of the festival theatre 1966-73. This period was the apogee of his career as an actor-manager; everything before it a rehearsal. The juxtaposition of acting and management had always been his ideal in the theatre.

The Cambridge-educated son of a barrister he made his first stage appearance in Out of the Blue at the Lyric, Hammersmith, under Nigel Playfair. But at 25 he was ready to found his own company at the Intimate Theatre, Palmers Green, where his repertory adorned the London "fringe" (not a term then invented). By the time he left the Intimate in sj rii- 1941, to run a revue company to entertain tne troops at remote outposts in Britain, he had presented over 200 plays, with himself as director or actor or both in most productions. After the war he returned to actor-management with his own company at the St James's, after his marriage to Kay Hammond. He then did two seasons with the Old Vic Company (1947-48), and with his own company in the West End (co-starring with Kay Hammond).

They mounted superior and highly successful revivals of The Beaux' Stratagem (1949) and Man and Superman (1951). But the finest of his actor-managerial ventures prior to Chichester was his two-year tenure of the Saville Theatre (1955-57) with a classical programme ranging from The Way of the World to The Wild Duck. Clements was never an exciting actor, even as a romantic juvenile. In the great parts he achieved a sort of dissipated flamboyance as Antony, a noble gravity as Prospero, vigour and eloquence as Macbeth, even, to borrow a Coward phrase, a cer- Another Day April 9, 1830: Peterborough cathedral is exquisitely beautiful, and my daughters had a great desire to see the burial-place of that ill-used, that sav-. agely treated woman, Catherine, queen of the ferocious tyrant, Henry VIII To the infamy of that ruffian and the shame of after ages, there is no monument to record her virtues and her sufferings; and the" remains of this daughter of Isabella, who sold her jewels to enable Columbus to discover the new world, lie under the floor of the cathedral.

The virtuous Catherine is unblazoned, while the tyrannical, the cruel, and the immoral Elizabeth is recorded with all possible varnishing over of her disgusting amours and endless crimes.

The criticism levelled those Chichester seasons was that Clements nlaved it too safe, concentrating on established classics and other surefire revivals and avoiding anything experimental or even new There were, as it happened, ex ceptions. Clements, however, took the criticism seriously. He was not looking for trendiness or obscurantism, which would have emptied his Chichester seats, but he was always look ing for worthy new drama Playwrights as disparate as Os borne, Pinter and Christopher Fry hoped to write plays for him. They never delivered, to his deep regret, but a bank bai ance, artistic worth, and knighthood were serious conso lations. After Chichester Clements had a further Snow run, The Case in Question.

If his pro jected production of The Rivals for the Old Vic in 1978 had reached fruition that would have made a final quarter-turn of the wheel (he had produced tms lavounte play at the inn mate, the Saville and Chiches ter). But Sir John abandoned the production after some fairly stormy rehearsals. During them he was unwontedly testy and irascible a change in his disposition generally attributed to prolonged worry ana con cern for his wife in the illness that had incapacitated her for almost 20 years, ending witn her death.

First that the year-and-a-day rule was an anomalous relic of a no doubt justified distrust of medical science in medieval times.

It may have provided a useful, if arbitrary, rule of thumb where enme was concerned, it should not be extended into a field where no criminal liability was involved so as to preclude an objective scientific inquiry by a coroner into how, when, and where, a deceased came by his death. His Lordship preferred the alternative argument urged on behalf of the father which was that suicide may as such nave ceased to be a crime but it had not lost all its criminal implications. Although no longer a crime suicide remained the creature which the common law recognised, including the year-and-a-day requirement. A stigma remained particularly to those of certain faiths. A verdict of suicide should not be recorded now that suicide was no longer criminal when it could not have been recorded when it was.

The rule that after the passage of a year and a day death must be attributed to some other cause should be applied now as it would have been then. Mr Justice Hutchison delivered a concurring judgment. Accordingly the verdict in the present case was quashed and the matter was remitted to the coroner for reconsideration.

Section 4 (1) of the Homicide Act 1957 provided that it was manslaughter "for a person acting in pursuance of a suicide pact between him and another to kill the other or be a party to the other killing himself or being killed by a third It was clear that a conviction of manslaughter on that basis as on any other would require that death occurred within a year and a day of the act causing it. The Suicide Act 1961 abrogated the rule of law whereby it was a crime for a party to commit suicide. It did not, however, legitimise suicide in any gen eral way. It amended section 4 (1) of the 1957 Act by omitting the words "killing himself It provided that a person aiding or abetting, counselling, or procuring the suicide or attempted suicide of another should be subject to imprisonment for up to 14 years. It made several other amendments so as (broadly) to assimilate aiding and abetting suicide to murder, manslaughter and infanticide.

If the year-and-a-day rule applied to suicide when it was a crime it seemed that it must still apply, not only where a party is charged with manslaughter under section 4(1) of the Homicide Act 1957 but also where he is charged under section 2(1) of the Suicide Act 1961. The Coroners Act 1887 ex pressly authorised a coroner to give a verdict that the deceased did feloniously kill himself. That would have been a proper verdict only if the death haa oc curred within a year and a day. Section 56 (1) of the Criminal Law Act 1977 provided, "At a coroner's inauest touching the death of a person who came by his death by murder, man Lord Justice. Bingham said that it is an essential ingredient of murder that the party wounded or hurt dies of the wound or hurt within a year and a day after it was inflicted.

That rule has been applied by analogy to manslaughter and is also imported into the statutory crime of infanticide. During the many centuries when suicide was a crime in this country it would seem that thi vear-nnd-a-day rule was understood to apply to it. Hale.
