Retsdon Posted March 30, 2018 Report Share Posted March 30, 2018 It's a kicker. Bill Maynard was quintessentially 'English' in the best possible way. They don't make them like him anymore. And to be honest, I'm getting fed up with all these pillars and stalwarts of my childhood and youth getting knocked off the perch. Anyway, here's to you Bill...

Vince Green Posted April 2, 2018 Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 He was one of the true comedy professionals, he crafted his characters to perfection yet never openly did or said anything particularly funny. It was all in the body language and facial expression. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
