    Sad, sad news - Richard Briers has passed away, following the recent news that he was suffering from emphysema.:cry3:

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-21498077

    He always struck me as a kind, gentle and humorous fellow and in no doubt was blessed with an incredible acting talent.

    Richard - thank you, sir, for many laughs and smiles over many years; RIP

      I'm sure that most of you will remember him just for 'The Good Life' (and not for co-star Felicity Kendal)

      One of the Actors who automatically made you smile, and who you somehow knew to be a really nice human being.........and there's no one of his ilk to fill his shoes.:dunno:

        It was really sad news:frown:

        He was also a fine straight actor.

          One of my favourites, the tasting of 'pea pod burgundy' wine



          I've always thought that whatever they portrayed as being possible, I could also have a go at myself, even though it was a comedy programme.

            Is this edible or would it require a trip to A&E if eaten!

            What's the best way to get oxalis out from between patio stones? I'm ripping up my gloves and nails
