steve_b_wales Posted July 28, 2022 Report Share Posted July 28, 2022 I remember watching him clay shooting at a game fair many years ago. He was excellent when he played a salesman in Fawlty Towers. 'Spoons'. R. I. P. Bernard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

discobob Posted July 28, 2022 Report Share Posted July 28, 2022 Another one that can't be replaced - but he had a good long life I wonder if we will see some of his best appear on TV - Unfortunately I fear the answer will be no 😞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus appearances in 'Catching the Impossible'. I guess my signed copy (Cribbins, Miles & Bowler) of the book has increased in value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnfromUK Posted July 28, 2022 Report Share Posted July 28, 2022 Great loss. I was only thinking of his 'Hole in the Ground' the other day as the water board dug a really messy hole to repair a leak. I had not realised he was a fisherman.
