  • RIP

    Someone who's been on screen for 40 years in various guises, I remember the alternative comedy he did in the 80s.
  • Genuinely brilliant actor, he could manage funny, threatening, funny and threatening, pathos and the rest as well as anyone.  

    Feel lucky to have seen him from the early 80s on.

    I can even forgive him for Nuns on the Run.

    RIP
  • A great Scottish actor. RIP
  • FYI ITV Hub have put all three series of Cracker on their platform. It may have been there before but it's now prominent at the top of the page. About to watch one.
  • Here it is, sir. The very cornerstone of English scholarship. This book, sir, contains every word in our beloved language.

    Every single one, sir?

    Every single word, sir!

    Oh, well, in that case, sir, I hope you will not object if I also offer the Doctor my most enthusiastic contrafibularities.

    What?

    "contrafibularities", sir? It is a common word down our way.

    Damn!

    Oh, I'm sorry, sir. I'm anaspeptic, phrasmotic, even compunctuous to have caused you such pericombobulation.

    RIP Robbie

  • Been a long while since I've seen any of the Comic Strip Presents stuff but seeing this clip again took me right back to those days when RC and the rest were starting out. Not sure it'd happen these days...

    RIP Robbie. 
  • A sad loss. RIP

    He was great in Cracker. He was also in a drama a year or two back about historical sexual abuse (National Treasure I think it was called). Didnt see it but must now try to find it on brit box or Netflix. 

    RIP big man.  
    Cracker is on ITV hub here:
    https://www.itv.com/hub/cracker/1a1918a0001 (you'll need to scroll down for the rest of series 1, as it's put the series in reverse order)
    and I'm told Tutti Frutti is on Britbox, but I don't have that, so can't say for certain.

    Mason Boyne - still funny. What a body of work he leaves behind. RIP Robbie.

    Bumped into Robbie Coltrane in Tottenham Court Road one evening in the 1980's. He was on his own, half-cut but having a great night out and happy to chat to everyone passing. God bless you Robbie.

    Always struck me as a decent man

    Goes without saying he was an excellent actor. The first full episode of cracker i watched was the one where Robert Carlyle played a proper nutter and stabbed up Christopher Eccleston after squeezing his wife's tit in a supermarket. After Robert Carlyle's pretty abhorrent character stripped off in custody Robbie Coltrane entered, big imposing bastard, delivered a stone cold speech and then told him to put his clothes on else he would rip his dick off. 

    I became a cracker fan after that and remained a Robbie Coltrane fan

    That episode stayed with me so much I still remember the chant the nutter sang.

    My mate saw him in the Jump Club in HK, wandered up to him and said Hello Robbie... he replied: "Fuck Off".  hah. 

    Brilliant actor. Rest in peace. 

  • Loved him in Tutti Frutti which was a great, hilarious and tragic series.

    RIP Robbie.
