I actually bumped into Dr Chapman when visiting Oxford last week. I’ve always thought there was a resemblance to Anthony Hopkins bus as they’ve both got older they are less similar…My partner asked me who was the older gentleman I was speaking to and I explained to her about Dr Chapman and mentioned to her the previous resemblance.
