I didn't know he was still around! Still, 98 is a damn fine innings, so well done the old smoothie. RIP.

 

[Is it PotG?]

Screen legend, made that type of character his.

RIP

R I P. I will always associate him with "The Navy Lark" on radio.

 

[Frutos]

I have to say I thought he'd passed away years ago.

In any event, RIP.

Ding Dong, RIP.

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

He was quite marvelous. RIP.

 

[Lyndhurst 14]

Very versatile actor. As well as the comedy roles and catchphrases he will be remembered for he more than held his own in more serious roles in films like Empire of the Sun, and some very good minor roles like Tomb Raider

He could do Shakespeare too. I saw him play Falstaff about 30 years and he was very good.

I think I'll always associate him with The Navy Lark - something that brightened up those gloomy 60s Sundays.

RIP

RIP - a great actor who came to single-handedly epitomise a certain type of English “gentleman”.

 

[Official Old Man]

The ultimate English Gentleman.
RIP

RIP - I was only talking about him recently as a colleague from Greece asked what Ding Dong meant I then had to try and explain all about Leslie Phillips. Thankfully YouTube made it much easier.

Hopefully we will get Carry On Teacher or Carry on Constable on ITV4 at the weekend in tribute?
