Lard Bazaar 3,803 Posted January 31, 2012 "He is a warm and talented man and we are all looking forward to working with him again on the 'Royle Family Christmas Special'." So - was he in it?

No mention on Hughes' health though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

the_engineer 1,415 Posted July 28, 2012 I remember him from the royale family and keeping up appearances very sad to hear he has died. His face is more recognisable than his name in the acting world i don't know if that is a good thing or a bad thing. R.I.P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JR976evil 909 Posted July 28, 2012 A huge blow to the UK soap-opera industry!! Hardly, he was written out of Corrie almost 30 years ago, it's managed without him amazingly enough 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Unknown Man 592 Posted July 28, 2012 I could've sworn that he was on the list this year, but apperently not. But anyway, that'll be my 6th DDP hit this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vinegar Tits 607 Posted July 28, 2012 Another person I've met/worked with gone. Very nice bloke, very funny, had time for everyone. RIP Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Octopus of Odstock 2,217 Posted July 28, 2012 Lovely man, met him a couple of times. He was one of those quite rare creatures - great at acting and comedy acting - I think his comedy roles have belied a little how good he was as an actor (or maybe enhanced it, depending on your point of view?) Slightly disappointed to take him off my DDP, but I was led to believe he was getting better and out and about in the Isle of Wight. RIP Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
