Octopus of Odstock 2,103 Posted August 3, 2011 The actor Richard Pearson has died at 93. I remember him best for playing the part of Victor Meldrews brother in an episode of One Foot in the Grave when he accidentally set his own head on fire.He was also the voice of Mole in the Wind of the Willows tv series A great shame. One of the advantages of UKTV Gold for DDP purposes is that it reminds you of people a lot of others have forgotten about. I watched his brilliant turn in Men Behaving Badly as Mr Strang, Gary's Dad, very recently and checking he was still alive (and being surprised he was), I added him onto my DDP shortlist. I also well remember the aforementioned role in One Foot in the Grave. But also, as a child of that era, I remember Wind the the Willows and I adored that programme - for some reason it really captured my imagination and I'm sorry he's gone. It mustn't be forgotten that he was a pretty compentent actor in the 1950's and 1960's too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He was also in a little-seen Peter Cook film called “The Rise and Rise of Michael Rimmer", which was basically about Peter Mandelson 25 years early...

As a follow up, I read in his obituary that he was the original Stanley in the West End production of Pinter's "The Birthday Party". A couple of other actors have also exited stage left: One of them was Paul Massie who some might recognise from the Tony Hancock classic "The Rebel". He retired from acting and became a teacher. Another is Nicholas Selby, who was Uncle George in the 1990s revival of "Jeeves and Wooster". Curiously, both Pearson and Selby died a day after their respective birthdays...

maryportfuncity 10,445 Posted August 5, 2011 Bubba Smith dead. And here's a proper link With any luck this will also kill off the proposed Police Academy revival, talk about flogging a dead horse! Talking about flogging a dead horse, as we were. When lack of decent opportunities elsewhere obliged the writers and stars of Steptoe and Son to reunite in the early seventies the first episode of the new series involved them coping with the death of the horse and there was even a joke about Harold 'flogging' him. Really funny. Surprises me that none of the desperate film and television reunions since have used that clever in-joke. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Really funny. Surprises me that none of the desperate film and television reunions since have used that clever in-joke. What was amazing about Steptoe and Son was that when they got back together in the 70s it was no less funny, if anything it was even better, unlike when most sitcoms and shows reunite. Perhaps it was down to the fact that Wilfrid Brambell and Harry H Corbett disliked each other just as much in real life, a case maybe of art-imitating-life-imitating-art Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've seen all those movies and don't think I even remember him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
