Very sad.

Aw - I so liked Richard Briers - very sad indeed.

Alan2005

I didn't like him. He always came across as quite a smug and odious man.

Oink

Me too. And then he was in that dreadful and so-called ironic 1970s sitcom, written so middle-agded blokes back then could wank off to Felicity "I've got an annoying voice" Kendal.

Wow, have we not had our meds today or are we in our 'Rick from the Young Ones persona' ?

Oink

You might want to check your references, it was Vyvyan who disliked the Good Life, Rick was very much a fancier of Felicity Kendal.

Tangram

Yes indeed it was, the sentiment remains apposite you rebel on a freedom moped out of nowhere city. Perhaps you are the people's poet.

My 2 year old is extremely impressed by some his work...I'd forgotten all about these until today.

I thought he was great in "Ever Decreasing Circles" and "The Good Life". Suprised to find out that he smoked like a Chinese factory chimney. A sad loss.
