Replying to Mollie Sugden et al

I needed those 6 points to keep me ahead in case of Nolan dying. Only this morning though I was debating if he was a good pick and whether I should drop him for 2014. I'll drop him now....

Yes indeed.After a false alarm last december it seems Bill Pertwee has actually departed this mortal realm this time http://www.independe...es-8633382.html

Bill Pertwee has left the sit com land, according to the BBC.

RIP Richard Briers,on our list at work,only thing I can say is that my gf works in Surbiton and its either full of ponces

Bad day for 70s sitcom stars- keith Marsh aka Jacko in Love Thy Neighbour has died http://quatermasscon...-marsh-rip.html

Damnations. Had him as reserve for my sit-com theme team.

Richard Briers death has really worried me because he died from emphysema which he was diagnosed with 5 years ago.My dad was also diagnosed with emphysema 5 years ago and is just 4 years younger than Briers was,so it makes you think how easily we can lose s omeone close to us.Hold on to them and cherish them while you still can!

Yes, he was an astonishingly good actor away from his sitcom work. A pity that he will be remembered for his mediocre roles.

Funnily enough, Richard Briers was on record as saying he disliked his character, Tom Good. But he played him so charismatically. Interestingly, his later character of Martin in 'Ever Decreasing Circles', might be on the surface a more sympathetic character (he couldn't really help being what he was), but Briers plays him very unsympathetically. Very good actor, Briers so I shall miss him.

And of course he was Rhoobarb and Custard as well and if that doesn't guarantee immortality, nothing will!
