TQR 14,385 Posted October 14, 2022 Very sad. One I didn’t expect to last too long but it’s a gut punch nonetheless. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cerberus 302 Posted October 14, 2022 Never seen a Harry Potter film, but thought he was terrific in 'Cracker.' Sad news. Meanwhile, Leslie Phillips slogs on ... 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RoverAndOut 4,746 Posted October 14, 2022 Would've won the previous Scavenger Hunt for @Toast 18 months ago. Very sad, fine actor but he always looked like he was on borrowed time. Rest in Peace. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YoungWillz 21,026 Posted October 14, 2022 Some of us remember his turns in A Kick Up The Eighties and Tutti Frutti, Nuns On The Run I saw in the cinema. Came from my neck of the woods, a bawhair from where I am now. This year's BBC In Memoriam might need to be 2 hours at this rate... 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I remember watching Tutti Frutti... on BBC when they repeated it during the lockdown! Gets a bit grim. Remember 2016, BBC put out their Memoriam on the 23rd December, within hours Piers Sellers and Rick Parfitt had died, Liz Smith was in hospital (died the next day) and Carrie Fisher had her heart attack. To be followed by Debbie Reynolds and George Michael within days. The mother of all jinxes. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wannamaker 1,407 Posted October 14, 2022 -1 for my shortlist, never seen a Harry Potter film but Hagrid was one of the most parodied characters by latinamerican comedian El Bananero, so even if I've never seen an HP movie, he did leave an impact on me. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
