Just doing a mid-year cull for the DDP next year, and one of those dropped is Ronald Forfar, Freddy Boswell in Bread. Only 74, but that meant he was early 50's when he was in Bread, and he looked near 70 then. Doesn't appear to have done much for aeons, but no health news means he's too much of a risk to pick.

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!
