Cat O'Falk 3,290 Posted January 23, 2017 Died in a care home so must have had a long standing condition. Unless of course he liked the nursing staff uniforms (obviously they wear stocking and suspenders) Only if the staff were male and he was into drag queens. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bibliogryphon 9,582 Posted January 23, 2017 The actor Gordon Kaye , famous for his role as Rene Artois on Allo Allo has died aged 75 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-38718282 Just last week we were watching the BBC 1983 version of Mansfield Park where Gordon Kaye played Doctor Grant. Can't believe Bernard Hepton (who played the character in Secret Army which Rene was based on) outlasted him Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Phantom 2,533 Posted January 24, 2017 I saw Gorden Kaye on stage in a production of Harvey at Wimbledon Theatre years ago. I believe it was his first stage role following the injuries he sustained during the storm in '87. Also appearing with him were Frank Thornton and Rue McClanahan. I think I still have the program somewhere Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anyway, Gerald Sim, John Nettleton, Dora Bryan, Stephen Lewis, Geoffrey Hughes, Penny Marshall, John Horsley, Hywel Bennett, Tony Booth and Bill Pertwee would be amongst the next.

Vinegar Tits 606 Posted August 3, 2017 I've definitely been keeping an eye on him for years. Surprised he made it as long as he did. Sad news though. I was never overly fond of Shelley as a kid but I suspect I'd appreciate it more now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
