Remember the coffee advert 🥰

OtherS · 05/06/2026 17:37

Oh no, that's so sad. RIP Giles 😭

ladymalfoy · 05/06/2026 17:37

And in Jonathan Creek

Bitofashock · 05/06/2026 17:38

RIP Herc. That voice was like warm syrup and will be sadly missed. Fabulous actor.

DialSquare · 05/06/2026 17:38

Oh no. I hadn’t heard this. Too young.

CurbsideProphet · 05/06/2026 17:40

Very sad news.

I do, and he was in Vanity Fair and Persuasion.

JuneBringsTulipsLiliesRoses · 05/06/2026 17:41

And The Split 😢

Ponks · 05/06/2026 17:42

ah noooo, loved him as Giles (and the Gold Blend neighbour… “It’s a very sophisticated coffee”)

AnAlpacaForChristmasPleaseSanta · 05/06/2026 17:43

I was quite young when they were shown but I remember being a bit obsessed by the Gold Blend ads!

Such a shame, AH always seemed like a thoroughly decent bloke as well as a great actor.

FionnulaTheCooler · 05/06/2026 17:44

So sad, he was such a talented actor.

nicepotoftea · 05/06/2026 17:44

No!

He was one of those actors who made whatever he was appearing in better whenever he was on screen.

I actually thought Sharon Maughan was his wife irl. Blush

In my defence, they had all the chemistry.

Giggorata · 05/06/2026 17:45

I am sad to hear this, a top bloke and wonderful actor.

Gonnagetgoingreturnsagain · 05/06/2026 17:46

I saw him in motherland recently. Sad. 😔 remember him in gold blend ads.

YouputthetwatinKathleen · 05/06/2026 17:48

Gorgeous. The only man I wanted knocking on my door asking to borrow coffee.

RIP.

PrincessBeatch · 05/06/2026 17:51

I never knew Murray Head was his brother. What did his parents do to produce two talented brothers like that?

OldGothsFadeToGrey · 05/06/2026 17:51

Had the pleasure of meeting both him and his wife. Can confirm the rumours of how nice he was are true. Very sad day

Heartbroken

I’m a huge Buffy fan, so very sad! Between him, Michelle and Nicolas, the cast is dropping like flies…

Same, Buffy has been with me through everything
This loss brought tears to me which doesn’t usually happen with celebrity deaths

NotThisShitAgain121 · 05/06/2026 17:55

Aww gutted. Fab actor.

Gingernaut · 05/06/2026 17:57

Awful news

I'm so sorry to hear this

He was a fine actor and was amazing in Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Ted Lasso

MrsLargeEmbodied · 05/06/2026 17:58

that is no age
how sad

BuffysBigSister · 05/06/2026 17:58

I am properly upset by this. Huge Buffy fan. How sad.

HelloDaisy · 05/06/2026 18:00

Sad sad news, and only 72. I loved him in Rocky Horror Show in London
