I adored him. Especially as the Ben in Butterflies. He saw a good age and went in his sleep. All we can hope for but still I'm sad.

Sad loved him.

An absolute fixture on TV in the 70s and 80s. RIP.

Kcar · 06/11/2020 14:28

Loved him too.

AlexaShutUp · 06/11/2020 14:30

So sad! Such a talented actor.

MrsHuntGeneNotJeremyObviously · 06/11/2020 14:30

Sorry to hear this. I lived him in Butterflies too

wellthatsunusual · 06/11/2020 14:31

I thought he was such a good comedy actor. So deadpan.

Graphista · 06/11/2020 14:35

Oh how sad! Loved him in "as time goes by" among many other things.

He seemed a lovely man.

93 is a pretty good innings though.

AdoptedBumpkin · 06/11/2020 14:45

Very sad to read this. He was fabulous in As Time Goes By.

HadEnoughOfBears · 06/11/2020 14:49

As Time Goes By was (is) one of my favourite programs. RIP

PastMyBestBeforeDate · 06/11/2020 14:52

I dreamt I had lunch with him a couple of weeks ago. Totally random. It was a nice lunch.

Samcro · 06/11/2020 14:52

sad. loved him

dottiedodah · 06/11/2020 15:03

Loved him in Butterflies and Time Goes By .Does anyone else remember seeing him in Fawlty Towers "Im a Doctor and I want my Sausages!) episode ?

dottiedodah · 06/11/2020 15:04

Absolute classic! Seemed such a nice man ,real shame

SoupDragon · 06/11/2020 15:05

Butterflies was a family favourite when I was growing up :)

RIP.

FippertyGibbett · 06/11/2020 15:17

Butterflies was brilliant. RIP.

HeatherAndSand · 06/11/2020 15:23

Such a fantastic face and talent.

isitsnowingyet · 06/11/2020 15:26

That's sad - great actor and very funny.

On Fawlty Towers - 'I'm a doctor and I want my sausages!'

Classic

AsTimeGoesBy · 06/11/2020 15:31

I have had to revive an old username for today. I thought he was a great actor, Butterflies is one of my all time favourite comedies. RIP.

missyB1 · 06/11/2020 15:37

Oh no he was such a brilliant actor! Butterflies was filmed in the town where I live. I walk my dog past the house and in the park where Wendy Craig would meet her man by the duck pond.

purpleme12 · 06/11/2020 15:39

Aww I know I used to love watching As Time Goes By when I was little 😞

HeatherAndSand · 06/11/2020 15:41

Oh yes. Leonard in the park. Different times.

HeatherAndSand · 06/11/2020 15:44

'Love is like a butterfly, as soft and gentle as a sigh...'

missyB1 · 06/11/2020 15:59

Is it me but we seemed to have funnier and more enjoyable tv in those days. No reality tv, and good family shows like Butterflies / The Good Life / Fawlty Towers.

HemlockStarglimmer · 06/11/2020 16:03

I had quite a crush on him. 😢

Judashascomeintosomemoney · 06/11/2020 16:11

Aww, he was bloody marvellous! My personal favourite was as Jimmy in Reginald Perrin. RIP
