[Film] RIP Bernard Cribbins

[Durlston]

He was magnificent in that Fawlty Towers episode - 'The Hotel Inspectors'. I always thought that scene when he beats up Basil Fawlty was quite graphic before the watershed. A wonderful actor. Very underestimated.

RIP.

Sad news.

First episode of the new Doctor Who series dedicated to him? He's rumoured to be in it as well, may very well be his final role.

Like many others, he has always been around from my childhood. Seemed like he was one of the nice guys and leaves a great legacy across the British entertainment industry

RIP.

He even upstaged Cleese in that episode.

 

[GT49er]

That's some legacy he's left. Good innings too. RIP.

Oops, sorry... the song has been posted before! The sentiment remains the same though.

Maybe this was more iconic?

Didn’t realise he was in modern day Dr Who as I don’t watch it.
I remember him from the two Dr Who films from the sixties which were just rereleased as a double bill in certain cinemas.

 

[Lever]

Excellent!

 

[Madafwo]

Many a happy moment sat watching Old Jack's Boat with the children. RIP.

 

[Albion in the north]

Loved him in a lot of things.

Brilliant Actor and national treasure.
Loved him in The Railway Children and every role he took on he was excellent. Some great songs he also performed which I loved. Right said Fred was a great song.

The expression “national treasure” is bandied around too much, but Bernard Cribbins very definitely was….. with knobs on.

R.I.P. Bernard Cribbens.

Very much an understated comedian . . . and l liked that.

 

[BLOCK F]

Sad news, came across as just the loveliest man. In recent years I saw him a lot in a lovely kids show on CBeebies called Old Jacks Boat that both of my boys loved.

RIP.

We have watched that with our little grandson.
Love it.

 

[Normal Rob]

Such sad news. I once made a vow to answer every question on University Challenge with 'Bernard Cribbins' until the answer was right. After one and half series i gave up,

 

[Barrow Boy]

Bernard Cribbins was virtually an ever present and part of my life growing up, either on Film/TV/Records, the film 'Two Way Stretch' is one of my all time favourite British comedies.
RIP Bernard and thankyou for some lovely memories.

 

[Super Steve Earle]

Jackanory for me

Jackanory?

No, no sadly it's true.

Used to drive my late dad bonkers singing that song all the time round the house.

Those knobs will have to go. And we’ll take off all the ‘andles, and the things what ‘old the candles.

Take off all the ‘andles! Legend. RIP you national treasure.
