    Ah that's a shame.

    Really enjoyed their boating show, seemed to be a nice guy and him and Prunella Scales seemed to have a really sweet relationship after all those years.

    RIP.

    Wonderful actor, the first thing I remember him in was Edward VII when I was a nipper. He has been in so much great stuff, but Brass was probably my favourite. RIP Timothy.

    He was superb in A Very Peculiar Practice, where he played a maniac professor, if anyone remembers that.

    Really sad news, but that’s one hell of a life so very well lived. Have enjoyed seeing him with Pru on their various canal trips. A very talented family and so obviously really nice people too. Rest in Peace Tim.
