the Bible. His best-known book, also a television series, is The Book of Witnesses (1971), in which he turned the Gospels into a series of monologues. He also retold dozens of Old Testament and Apocrypha stories in Bible Stories (1968). In 1953, he played the character Lemuel "Lemmy" Barnet in the British sci-fi radio series Journey into Space. He married Margaret (Jennie) Jenkins and had two sons, Paul and Simon. Following the death in 1976 of his son Paul, guitarist with the band Free, Kossoff established the Paul Kossoff Foundation which aimed to present the realities of drug addiction to children. Kossoff spent the remainder of his life campaigning against drugs. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, he toured with a one-man stage performance about the death of his son and its effect on the family. He died in 2005 of liver cancer at age 85. He was cremated and interred at the Golders Green Crematorium. In its obituary, The Scotsman wrote that David Kossoff was "a man of deep convictions and proud of his Jewish origins".
