Sitcom star Peter Blake dies

Actor Peter Blake, who was famous for a number of sitcom roles in the 1970s and 1980s has died. He was 69.

Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 23rd July 2018

Agony is luckily a wide-awake, wise-cracking comedy with a cracking good comedienne Maureen Lipman, something in the Stritch style.

Nancy Banks-Smith, The Guardian, 12th March 1979
