Shit on it Sad
It'll be a day of mourning here as well, complete with a lovely bit of squirrel.

What a horrible loss of someone so young and talented.

As a PP said, I hope his family and friends take comfort in knowing how many people he made cry with laughter.

I'll miss his nipples!!

Rip Paul.

Just saw the notification on BBC News App.
Very sad. Don't recall seeing him in anything else but loved him in FND.
Thoughts to his family and friends.

We all love FND in my house. Such sad news. Sad

Incredibly sad, and so young too. RIP

DMCWelshcakes · 06/04/2021 11:42

I'm really sad about this. 54 is no age at all.

Shit on it.

GertiMJN · 06/04/2021 11:42

How sad 😞 he was only 55

We are always watching FND. Brilliant actor brilliant comic timing to me he was the funniest character

Nooooo!

SpacePug · 06/04/2021 11:50

This is so sad, I actually had a tear when I read the news . We love FND Sad

SusannahSophia · 06/04/2021 11:52

It’s really sad. He was such a great comedy actor. Only 54!

Cowbells · 06/04/2021 11:52

That is so so sad. He was a wonderful actor. Way too young.

SkepticalCat · 06/04/2021 11:52

No, this is so incredibly sad. I only discovered Friday Night Dinner last year during lockdown (not sure where I've been hiding for the last ten years) and have been watching all the series over the last six months or so. Have only one episode to go, which will obviously take on a great deal of poignancy when I watch it.

Shit on it.

ameliajanes · 06/04/2021 11:53

FND won't be the same without him. I didn't realise he was only 54, I thought he was older.

Chanel05 · 06/04/2021 11:54

Genuinely gutted. The world has lost a true entertainer.

Kittytheteapot · 06/04/2021 11:54

Really sad. I thought he was the best character in FND. I only really watched it for him. Younger than me too - too young to die. Sad

Longdistance · 06/04/2021 11:55

I loved Friday Night Dinner. It’s made me sad today 😢 shit on it, indeed.
