OH no, what a shame!
So sad - he was very funny. Far too young to go - bloody cancer! Sad

This is awful. He was no age at all. We're all obsessed with Friday Night Dinner and have just rewatched them all. Shit on it, shit on it, shit on it!! :(

Absolutely bloody loved him in FND. He will be very missed. Shit on it from me too Sad. I sometimes ask DS if he has a female yet leading to many eye rolls.

RIP Paul. Condolences to your family

Oh this is really sad and so young Sad

A brilliant actor every part he played you believed in him.

My kids grew up with fnd, they are 16 & 20 now and so many of our everyday sayings, family jokes etc come from Martin.
He was a comic genius, what a loss and so young too.

We have already decided that the coming weekend will be all about fnd, we're going to choose an episode each to watch and celebrate what a marvellous man he was.

IheartJKR · 06/04/2021 12:20

I came on here to look for a thread do I could just put somewhere how sad I feel reading about Paul’s death.

I hope he had as gentle a death as possible surrounded by people who love him.

Very sad news. Loved him as Martin in Friday Night Dinner - the best character.

Very sad. I enjoyed his work on Vera.

Age 54! That’s no age to pass on. Such a shame.

He’ll be remembered for bringing laughter into peoples homes. He was brilliant in Chernobyl.

Shalom, shalom
