Oh the world just got a bit less special.

He had a good life

A real British Institution. RIP.

How sad, what a lovely chap and a distinctive voice that always reminds me of childhood

RIP

Margo!

Happy days.

🙁

As all above. He can't have been that old.

Oh. That's rubbish.

Loved" the good life" and "ever decreasing circles" as a kid. They were shows the whole family watched and laughed at, 3 generations

Absolutely. There'll be a lot of people of a certain age feeling a bit wistful today.

His finest hour.

He was good in Cockneys Vs Zombies.

Hearing him having his eyes gouged out on the radio when he played King Lear was one of those pieces of drama that I won't forget.

Very sad 🙁

(I am sure he would have appreciated Big John's humour though!)

r.i.p mr briers 🙁

Always entertaining, not something that can be said often

RIP

Shame. He lived near me in Chiswick, used to open the local fete.

As a now dead and much loved British celebrity who was massive in the 1970s, how long before the rumours and innuendos start?

Aye - "The Good Life" was excellent. Very acclomplished actor. As has been saud - reminds me of my younger days.

Sad to hear of his passing.

I was always jealous of him. Getting to sleep with Felicity Kendal ! Even though they were only married on a tv show, and as far as I know he never did.

R.I.P

I thought it was this guy

He was acting and funny right up to the end. Check out the Zimmer frame chase sequence in the recent Cockneys vs Zombies movie!

Again,as stated,voice of my childhood too.

Sad news, I used to work on his trees and he was a lovely bloke, just like the Good Life character. About the only customer who sent us cards at Christmas.

Sad news indeed.

How weird is that? Last night I dreamed I attended Felicity Kendal's funeral which was an Indian style cremation! 😯

Really loved watching him. So good in The Good Life and Ever Decreasing Circles.

As well as the more mainstream stuff he was brilliant in If you see god, tell him. I'm saddened by his passing a really talented chap.

Hearing him having his eyes gouged out on the radio when he played King Lear was one of those pieces of drama that I won't forget.

[ pedant] Think it's Gloucester that's blinded [ /pedant]

Anyway, THIS was his finest hour:

"It's... hurting the back of my eyes!"

Sad day.

Very sad news ,remember him in so many things from my childhood, does make you wonder how many of todays 'stars' will be remembered when its there time?

🙁 He always came across as a thoroughly nice chap
