Roland Curram, who has died aged 92, was a versatile and well-groomed supporting actor for more than 40 years. He often sported a manicured moustache and was always dapper and charming.
As indeed he was as Freddie Martin, one of the first out gay characters in TV soaps, among a mixed bag of British expats in the ill-fated 1992 BBC soap Eldorado. A fictional town was built on the Daurada coast south of Barcelona, where it remains to this day as a tourist attraction. The show itself – less of a crowd-pleaser – was axed in 1993.
