RIP Richard Briers

Sad news today, Richard was one of our finest actors.

I loved his Shakespeare performances but naturally, my favourite is The Good Life.

I wonder if Felicity Kendall would come and haunt me

[SusieGee]

Oh, how sad I hadn't heard that news. Loved him in everything but especially The Good Life RIP old chap.

RIP Richard :-(

[The Riff-Raff Element]

How sad. A fine actor and, by all accounts, a nice chap too.

[Andy Hamilton]

Actually, I quite liked ever decreasing circles. Anyone remember that? He was a great actor and I've heard a nice chap too. A real shame.

[mrsflibble]

was sad when I heard.

[diggernotdreamer]

Oh, lovely man. Ever Decreasing Circles, yes I remember that esp Harold and Hilda in their matching sweaters. May he compost in peace

[Helsbells]

Sad to hear he is no longer with us. I especially loved his voice in Watership Down.

How sad, RIP Richard.

[Thomzo]

Yes, very sad. I remember him in both series and various other things. At least he'll remain in our hearts on this site.

Very sad news

Both super.niki and I had a little cry to ourselves.

There was a lovely interview with him and Prunella Scales (they were still really good friends) in the Daily Mail the Friday before he died. It showed him to be a thoroughly good chap and a gentleman.

Apparently, Richard had just done a piece for Top Gear before he died as well...he was the voice of the jolly nice sat-nav!
