Ok, not exacty a household name but a funny man nonetheless.
I remember him in Fawlty Towers all them years ago. Classic innocent comedy.
82yrs…not a bad innings.

waking Ned was ace

I remember him as a one-armed dishwasher in Robin’s Nest. Never realised he was the guard in Stardust.

RIP

Basil Fawlty: —is mentioned ONCE more, I shall move you closer to him!

Shame that The Builders is widely regarded (including by John Cleese) as the only poor episode of FT. Kelly is great in it.

RIP.

The Anniversary is the only dudd for me, I actually quite liked the builders.

Yeah I like the Builders too and agree on the Anniversary which I find pretty grating in places. Apparently John Cleese cited a general lack of laughter in the studio on recording day. He recalls that members of the Icelandic Broadcasting Corporation were visiting the studio that day and many of them were in the front row seats, apparently not entirely amused.

It was all a conspiracy.

Wow he was always popping up in films and sitcoms. Been in the acting game since 1951!!

Last saw him in the rather dire remake of Charlie & the Chocolate Factory.
RIP
