Geoffrey Palmer has died

[Anotherlovelybitofsquirrel]

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.

RIP Mr Palmer

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

Yy Also loved him in As time goes by & Butterflies RIP Geoffrey.

Also loved this actor over the years. Geoffrey Palmer and Sean Connery in the same week. How sad. They don't make them like they used to!

Geoffrey Palmer - I always thought of him as a quintessential English man.

Great actor. May he rest in peace.

I loved him. @Judashascomeintosomemoney that was one of my faves too. Jimmy was hilarious. Bit of a cock up on the catering front.

He was great as the cold unemotional husband in Butterflies! A good old fashioned actor.

He was a great comic actor. I saw him in a theatre once when I was a teenager (he was just in the audience) and remember nudging my friend but to my embarassment neither of us could actually remember his name. We were only 18, in our defence. Sorry Geoffrey. You will be sadly missed.

This is sad news. I loved him in Butterflies and binge watched my way through As Time Goes By during lockdown. He leaves a great legacy behind him but its a bit like losing a lovely uncle

Oh!

I LOVED Geoffrey Palmer.

What a shame.

Oh, yes!

He was a cracker!

Wonderful actor and an utter gent.

Amazingly, he had no formal acting training!

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

Same, I loved it, even though I was far, far too young to be watching it really!

RIP I remember him more recently as Lucy's dad in Not Going Out

Wasn't that Geoffrey Whitehead?

Love him in ATGB and Mrs Brown.

I loved him as Lionel in As Time Goes by. I’ve rewatched the series several times.
RIP Geoffrey.

I've just looked it up and it went on till 2005, As Time Goes By.
I used to watch it when I was little. I never knew it went on for that long
It's made me want to watch it. It just reminds me of being little

I loved butterflies. Then it was streamed on ukgold 17 years ago and I didn't just live it, I totally got it.

"Forces of Anarachy"!

I love that clip. I love the sentiment. I'd not share it now unless I'm very sure how a friend would take it because despite the sentiment the language hasn't aged well, but I love it.

Ooops Anarchy that should be

Sad, I really liked him. 93 though, so a long life x

Even though it was only a small role he was great in Blackadder goes Forth as Haig.

Butterflies - so many childhood memories - RIP Geoffrey 🦋

I loved him in Butterflies. and of course When Times goes by. I always thought he resembled a bloodhound! I remember when his wife was meeting that guy in the park and Geoffrey's charachter moaned that he wasn't there to pour out his coffee!

Mum used to screech with laughter when Wendy Craig's character could not get the cake out the oven!!

I saw him also as a baddie in Morse - repeated last night.
