A sad day for millions. He was an actor who just knew what to do with comedy, and how to deliver a funny line, but over and above that was a terrific leading man. Farewell, Mr Tripp/Turpin. #RichardOSullivan

Sad to hear that Norman Eshley has passed away. Began his screen career in an Orson Welles film (pictured) & demonstrated a fine range, from comedy to horror. My father was absolutely delighted with his performance as a cowardly graduate rookie in Sweeney episode Taste of Fear.

Terrible news folks. Our highly talented friend, the legendary actor, Norman Eshley has left us for the great cinema in the sky. We will treasure the back stage laughs and chats. An honour to work with you. Rest in peace, dear chap.

Some actors capture an aspect of their historical moment. The combover, the knitwear, the wheedling and fussing - Brian Murphy was the absolute exemplar of a certain kind of postwar masculinity - the salaryman born slightly too early for the Permissive Society. RIP.

Incredibly saddened to hear of the passing of Brian Murphy. A genuine legend of comedy acting. Man About the House + George & Mildred were a childhood favourites then I had the immense honour of writing for him in The Catherine Tate Show & Benidorm. Much love to Linda & family💔

As well as being a fine actor, Brian Murphy was also a Foster parent. He was reunited with some of those children he fostered on This is Your Life in 1998.

It is such sad news to learn that we have lost the wonderful Kenneth Cope. There simply isn’t enough space to do justice to the many brilliant performances he gave us through the years. Thank you, Kenneth. Rest in peace.

Such sad news about Georgina Hale. I will always cherish her performance as Tabatha Bag, successor to Elizabeth Estensen as T-Bag. Here she is in T. Bag and the Pearls of Wisdom (1990), giving a richly entertaining masterclass in savouring life's victories.
