Oh my goodness. That's sad. So many gone from those films now.

I’ve just seen this too. RIP.

JamSandle · 14/10/2022 17:53

Nooooo. I can't believe it.

Very many people will remember him from Cracker. 72 seems young these days.

Yes, to me he was Cracker, not Hagrid. What a series Cracker was.

RIP Robbie

He somehow even made a half giant seem real. Hagrid was an absolute legend!

So sad. First remember him in Tutti Frutti, then Cracker and of course as Hagrid.

MarieIVanArkleStinks · 14/10/2022 17:57

To me, he will always be 'Comic Strip'.

He's one of the breed whose death does give pause, and is affecting. Left me feeling very sad to read this.

Try BBC. It's front page breaking news

Viviennemary · 14/10/2022 17:58

Thats really sad. He was a great actor. Loved him as Hagrid. Watched only a couple of the Fitz programmes but they dont seem to be repeated. Just heard it on sky news.

QuebecBagnet · 14/10/2022 17:59

So sad. Loved Cracker.

Genuinely gutted when I heard this.
