The "which famous person died today" thread

[andthesunshineband]

I guess always looking older than he was helped lengthen a very varied career. Sad news but 92 was a good effort.
Hopefully, he "settled up" his cheeseburger tab last Friday.
RIP sir.

 

[mexico1970]

Funny guy RIP.

 

[CTID1988]

Always known him as the shopkeeper in Wizadora

 

[Xhavenjoe]

Named on our bench during the last quarter of a century too, now that's impressive if you ask me

And our ex youth/ academy man, now assistant manager at Leicester.

I mean our old keeper...

Brian Murphy (footballer, born 1983) - Wikipedia

Couldn't even find any images of Brian Murphy our ex reserve keeper in a City kit despite him appearing on our bench a good few times, it's like Brian Barry Murphy has assumed his identity for City football related searches.

George & Mildred Brian Murphy was funny though anyone remember him being hired as a hitman, going along with it thinking it was something else.

Was this in George & Mildred or something else?

That was the George & Mildred film. Like most British ‘tv-series to movie’ efforts in the 70s it wasn’t good.

I knew who you meant.
He was still playing in the league of Ireland up to quite recently.

 

[lefty goldblatt]

He's been "knocking off" one of the Yellow coats from HiDeHi for years

I'll ask Su Pollard next time I see her.

As an aside I thought the comedy actor died years ago? As soon as he appeared on Last of the summer wine the reaper doesn't usually piss about.

Dads Army was good so was Rising Damp, Likely Lads & Please Sir was ok. Bless This House and George & Mildred didn't stand out I'll agree.

 

[Winchester]

Enjoyed his appearance in The Booze Cruise
RIP Brian

He's been married to her for 30 years, so the knocking would have ended about 29 years ago :-)

Was George and Mildred not a spin off from Man About the House.

Robin knows best mate ;-)

I remember when Youtha Joyce died, she was a funny woman and only 53.

George and Mildred .......probably fetched about 20m viewers or more which must be insane to today's generation
Don't know how it stands up now but we were easily pleased in the days of three channels

RIP

I recently watched all the Man about the House and George and Mildred shows on ITVX and loved them. Some excellent scripts and great acting. Robin's Nest also had its moments but not quite at the same level.

Obviously YMMV but Brian provided me with some great entertainment. I'd never really rated him when I watched these shows as a kid but now I'm older I definitely appreciated his comic chops.

They’re still very funny, more funnier than any of the so called comedy programmes on these days.
