Re: RIP Richard Briers

Very sad. Much enjoyed several of his series as a lad. The Good Life and Ever Decreasing Circles were great and I've quite recently been watching repeats on cable.

How time flies...

Another great (comedy) actor gone - Good Life, Everdecreasing Circles and The Seven Faces of Jim (for older members) all were top-notch - he will be sadly missed

RIP Richard

Re: RIP Richard Briers

What a great shame. He was a great comic actor and always seemed to be a thoroughly nice person, RIP Richard.

Its very sad to hear of his passing as he was a true legend whose programmes our family have thoroughly enjoyed down the years.

RIP Richard

Re: RIP Richard Briers

Lots of fond memories of his shows The Good Life of course but I also really liked Ever Decreasing circles but my first memories of him of course was Roobarb

Re: RIP Richard Briers

I will miss him, he could always be counted on to give a good performance whether it be a comedy or classic Shakespeare. RIP Richard.
