Checking to see if Richardson was really ever that young, I found "Richardson made his television debut in January 1939." Time is strange. Time Bandits is stranger.
I like this, from the ODNB: "Of the three great actor knights of the mid-twentieth century (Richardson, Olivier, and Gielgud), Richardson was the eldest and the least predictable, the one who looked most like a respectable bank manager possessed of magical powers, and the one who had the most trouble with Shakespeare: the critic James Agate said that his 1932 Iago ‘could not hurt a fly.’"
