[TV] RIP Brian Murphy

[Dick Swiveller]

George Roper goes to meet Mildred 45 years after she left us. Staple of British sitcoms for decades has passed aged 92.

 

[METALMICKY]

Used to live in my home town of Eastbourne for many years. Often used to see him around town.

 

[wellquickwoody]

Bless him, part of many peoples childhood and youth. Makes you realise your own mortality a little more.

 

[Boroseagull]

A truly lovely man who I was pleased to have regular contact with back in the 70s. Absolute gentleman and so, so modest. RIP

 

[Is it PotG?]

The word 'legend' is used far too often, Brian fits that bill of a true legend.

RIP George

 

[VAL1850]

RIP Brian, master of the great 1970s British sitcoms.....

 

[oldboyroy]

Loved him back in 70s/80s. RIP Brian

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

RIP Brian….

Great 70s comedies

 

[essbee1]

RIP mate. Loved those shows.

 

[Normal Rob]

RIP Brian. A true great.

Married a yellow-coat much younger than himself if I remember. The little tinker.

 

[Lenny Rider]

Legend is a word that gets bandied around far too much, but had it not been for aforementioned death of Yootha Joyce he would have been right up there as a sit com icon, with Barker and Jason.

Met his wife, Linda Regan, herself a Hi Di Hi Yellow Coat, some years ago, a lovely lady. They clearly had a very happy and loving marriage.

RIP.

 

[METALMICKY]

Quite a testament to his acting ability that we can remember his most famous character George from a show that aired so long ago. You can just see that look on his face when he was getting told off by Yootha Joyce. Even now you hear people describe some couples as just like ' George and Mildred '

 

[essbee1]

For me - sense of humour is developed through watching shows like this. I know it wasn't 100% PC - but
there were some absolute nuggets of pure comedy that I will never forget (and use!)

 

[Official Old Man]

Back to my childhood again. RIP George/Brian

 

[Eeyore]

I thought he was utterly immortal myself. Well thought of man and perfect in his acting roles. Another piece of our childhood gone.

RIP

 

[Bombardier]

Back to my childhood again. RIP George/Brian

Ditto

 

[AK74]

I enjoyed his performance in Lame Ducks.

 

[MTSeagulls]

Sad, I used to see him going to Shortlands station near Bromley to buy his newspaper every morning when I lived there around 10 years ago.
Loved his part in Booze Cruise (TWAT)

 

[Boys 9d]

I continued to appreciate his comedy acting when he joined the cast of Last Of The Summer Wine.

A true comedy legend - can’t believe the lady who played Mildred passed away so long ago in 1980 . Classic sitcom.
