I'm glad the article had mention of Cracker, it really is amongst Robbie Coltrane's finest work. The Hillsborough episode with Robert Carlyle was a exceptionally dramatic production, with incredibly powerful performances from them both.
Absolutely agree. Probably the best police drama I've ever watched. Note that when Cracker was on TV, he won the BAFTA award for best actor each of the three years.
Came in to say that. It was a hard watch, e.g. the one with the serial rapist. But to this day I judge every police drama in comparison to that. They all come short.

I loved his cameo as Dr. Johnson in BlackAdder season 3: Ink and Incapability. RIP.
Ah indeed, thanks for reminding!
A huge rollercoaster of a novel, crammed with sizzling gypsies!
Also in Alfresco with Stephen Fry & supporting actor in Pierce Brosnan series' James Bond. Lovely actor. RIP
I really enjoyed his documentary series Coltrane's Planes and Automobiles. RIP Robbie.
First noticed Robbie Coltrane in the movie 'Let It Ride'. Minor part at the betting window, but played it with plenty of spark. Same in every minute of him in Potter. Too bad he never mixed it up with the Pythons.
