I believe Richard died within a year or so of the making of Going Straight. Ironically, David Swift was also in Richard Beckinsale's last tv show Bloomers. It's noticeable the bags-under-the-eyes on Richard in this episode and it has been said that he had raised concerns about his health with his doctor in the months before his tragic death.
