the_engineer 1,415 Posted March 9, 2021 2 hours ago, Deathrace said: Quite shocking that a show that was made relatively recently has two thirds of its main cast dead. That's worse than the main protagonists of Fawlty Towers 3/4 still alive which was 20 years earlier. Not a lot better than Dad's Army now either (2 main actors versus 3 for Dibley). It's the Are You Being Served of the 1990s. Down to 3 now and the youngest out of them is 64 this year. Dawn french 63 - 64 this year Gary Waldhorn 77 - 78 this year James Fleet 68 James fleet 69 in two days ! That's a nice gift off his wife for his birthday. R.I.P Trevor peacock. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Beachy Head 33 Posted March 9, 2021 Sad news, the guys comic timing was hilarious. But was a miracle he survived this long with his various forms of dementia. On a side note James Fleet being 69 is crazy! The guy always seemed like he was in his late 20s in the show likewise when we was in Cracker. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Expecting Bluthal and Peacock to test that theory in the coming years however. Looks like Trevor Peacock bucked the system then, one extra year- sorry to see him go he was hilariously funny 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes Yes Yes......... , His songwriting career came as a surprise to me, but given the breadth of his career, maybe it shouldn't have! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RoverAndOut 4,746 Posted March 9, 2021 Sad loss, updated the master list on the first page. I happened to switch on the start of the final regular episode on Gold a few days ago and it's just a blood bath. Owen, Frank and now Jim gone from the Parish Council, and then back at the Vicar's house up pops Alice. So sad, and shocking they've all fallen so quickly, although I should also remember it's 14 years since the Vicar walked down the aisle with Richard Armitage!

Bloody hell, does the Dibley Massacre know no (no no no no) end? Thought we'd probably have a few years respite after Trevor died, but no! Still a cracking watch whenever it's on. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
