RIP Trigger (not the NSC one)

[BUTTERBALL]

Fine actor, big shame. Pancreatic cancer is particularly nasty.

Very sad.

Trigger as a sitcom character is right up there alongside all of the characters in Dad's Army.

Probably not as consistent, but definitely up there in terms of casting.

RIP Trigg.

Hopefuly he'll be having a reunion with his dad now. Just in case anybody's forgotten, Trigger's old man died a couple of years before he was born...

 

[SK1NT]

Played probably my favourite character in what has to be the most loved and funniest comedies of all time. Very very sad

RIP Trig

Del Boy: We had Denzil in goal, we had Monkey Harris at left-back, we had... camaraderie.

Trigger: Was that the Italian boy?
--------------------------------------

Arriving at the council tip to find it closed:

Del Boy: You said it was open 24 hours a day.

Trigger: Yeah, but not at night.


--------------------------------------

Rodney: Oi, Del, why'd they call him Trigger? Does he carry a gun or something?

Del Boy: No, it's 'cos he looks like a horse.

Anyone else see the Rodger Lloyd pack tribute tonight on beeb 1?
As lovely as the comments were from Dawn French, the whole thing was terribly rushed (about 15 minutes long)
followed by a classic only fools and horses were trig 1st appeared. Trig was only in that for about 3 or 4 minutes.
I just feel the man deserved more from the B.B.C

Considering the breadth of his acting career you'd have thought they could have devoted an hour to his tribute rather than a piddling 10 minutes.

Not seen a link,but Sid (Roy Heather) of 'Sids Cafe' from OFaH died on Wednesday,sure just played a small part in the series but in Trigger's new broom a quality part. Thanks Roy.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BUl6PooveJE

 

[Prince Monolulu]

Agreed. Part of a great section of British comedy.

I was impressed that Trigger was an answer on University Challenge this week. That's really making it

Serious and in what context ?

The question was something along the lines of "The Ship of Theseus paradox has become known by what 2 word term after the cleaning tool used by a character in Only Fools and Horses?"
