"He is a warm and talented man and we are all looking forward to working with him again on the 'Royle Family Christmas Special'."

 

So - was he in it?

 

No. They didn't do one.

Looks like it was just because the script wasn't finished in time for filming. No mention on Hughes' health though

I never watched Keeping Up Appearances or Royale Family. Always remember him from Corrie.

I remember him from the royale family and keeping up appearances very sad to hear he has died. His face is more recognisable than his name in the acting world i don't know if that is a good thing or a bad thing.

Hardly, he was written out of Corrie almost 30 years ago, it's managed without him amazingly enough

I could've sworn that he was on the list this year, but apperently not. :(

 

But anyway, that'll be my 6th DDP hit this year.

Lovely man, met him a couple of times. He was one of those quite rare creatures - great at acting and comedy acting - I think his comedy roles have belied a little how good he was as an actor (or maybe enhanced it, depending on your point of view?)

 

Slightly disappointed to take him off my DDP, but I was led to believe he was getting better and out and about in the Isle of Wight. RIP

Didn't know so many of you knew him personally, seems like he was a great bloke.

I couldn't claim to know him personally, but he dropped into our local pub once.
