Such sad news. A wonderful comic actor. Will always think of him when we tuck into a nice piece of squirrel.

Yes, very sad. RIP. I'm sure I won't be the first to say " Shit on it!" about this news. He was the best thing about Friday Night Dinner.

Oh God. That’s so sad, I adored him in Vera, and in lots of other things.

WeKnowFrogsGoShaLaLaLaLa · 06/04/2021 11:25

Heartbreakingly sad. At the end of the last series I really couldn't tell if it would be back or not, it ended with such joy, deffo time for a rewatch. ❤️

Violetroselily · 06/04/2021 11:25

Devastating news. Absolutely loved him in FND.

Oh that’s so sad. He was absolutely brilliant in Friday Night Dinner everyone I told about it really loved it.

Bagelsandbrie · 06/04/2021 11:27

I’ve just read this. How terribly sad. Loved him as an actor. Just so funny as Martin.

Vinorosso74 · 06/04/2021 11:28

I just saw, very sad. He was brilliant in Friday Night Dinner.

TeeBee · 06/04/2021 11:28

Its a day of mourning in our house...we loved him.
It might also mark the end of Friday Night Dinner, which will be devastating.

bonfireheart · 06/04/2021 11:31

He was great in No Offence too.

They've already filmed a 10 year anniversary special of FND which I am pretty sure was supposed to be the last episode ever.

GCSEmum2024 · 06/04/2021 11:33

So sad.

I hope his family takes comfort in the inordinate amount of laughter he bought to so many homes. We shall be having a lovely bit of squirrel for dinner tonight in his honour.

QuentininQuarantino · 06/04/2021 11:35

Omg - FND of course but in Chernobyl - really showed his versatility. That’s so sad.

TherapistInATabard · 06/04/2021 11:35

What an amazing actor, this is so sad.
