That's notorious in Who (and got him sacked from the role!!!), though he had a surly rep from before Keeping Up Appearances iirc... tbh given the above is the highly tedious Ben Cook interviewing him, I thought Clive was rather restrained, myself.

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted February 2, 2019 Easily the biggest death of the year to me so far. Very sad to hear this. I'm only going to give a shit about a dozen or so deaths, this is certainly one. RIP Mr. Swift. SC 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh no, he was notorious in KUA fan circles (and among cast/crew!) for being rude. Others will defend him to the hilt so likely a man (like Terry Pratchett) you needed to meet on the right day. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
millwall32 114 Posted February 6, 2019 Sounds quite a concerned individual according to this. I think you're right: a depends on the day type of person. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YoungWillz 21,044 Posted March 1, 2019 Ok, now I'm confused by this post, so let me know what you think. Now, does this mean that 78 year old Pat Garwood, who played Beryl Crabtree in No Place Like Home, has died (one of her kids posting on her account), or does it mean that her mother has died? Maybe we'll have to wait for William Gaunt to come in or other information.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
