Carer stole £75k from Thunderbirds director Alan Pattillo

The carer of a blind former film-writer and director has been jailed after stealing £75,000 from him to fund his gambling addiction.

Allan Beacham, 66, of Wootton in Kent, stole the money from the Emmy award winning Alan Pattillo, who directed the first episode of Thunderbirds.

Mr Pattillo, who died in 2020, was registered blind, in a wheelchair and had Parkinson’s when Beacham was taking his money over a 19-month period from October 2017 to May 2019.

Beacham was sentenced at Winchester Crown Court on Friday to three years and 10 months in prison after pleading guilty to theft in January.
