RIP.

Saw him in Mike Leigh's Topsy Turvy just the other day ("I'm going out to seek a little Italian hokey-pokey and I care not who knows it").

Very sad news. RIP.

Sad, a wonderful comic actor.

RIP and 'Tler! :(

RIP. He was on the Porridge: Inside Out documentary last week. Another legend gone.

Loved him in Porridge. Dunn, Pertwee, Mayall, Thornton, Kelly....many of my heroes died in the last two or three years. Sad.

Sad news. RIP.

Very sad news. An excellent actor in both comedic and dramatic roles.

He was also in On the Up with Jim Davidson.

Yes a very versatile actor and will be sadly missed.

Jim Davidson was not in On The Up.

Jim Davidson was not in On The Up.

Was Sam Kelly then?

So what was Jim Davidson's - oh yes - Up the Elephant....

Oh yes. Dennis Waterman. Same thing really. Ginger cockney.
