Massive loss. [emoji20] He will be greatly missed

A much overlooked talent. Loved him since the early days of seeing him in The Young Ones and The Comic Strip. I was quite shocked to see he could also do real drama in Cracker.

The man who invented the dictionary!

 

"for I celebrated last night the encyclopaedic implementation of my pre-meditated orchestration of demotic Anglo-Saxon. I simply observed, sir, that I’m felicitous, since, during the course of the penultimate solar sojourn, I terminated my uninterrupted categorisation of the vocabulary of our post-Norman tongue"

"also offer the Doctor my most enthusiastic contrafibulatirites".

 

I must admit, I was somewhat surprised (although perhaps I shouldn't be) by the BBC's headline mourning the loss of "Harry Potter star" ....

 

He was in a great number of other productions, many of which made him a household name long before 'Potter!' Despite massive success, it does feel almost as if it's cheapening his other achievements to list him as a HP star. But I guess that's modern media headlines.
