My favourite character form the tri-trilogy.
A retrospective of some of his greatest roles:

He was seven foot three ?

We used to have our hay delivered by a chap that was six foot ten, and I can't imagine that Harvey (our 'hay deliverer') would ever have to crick his neck to look up to ANYONE.

Great shame. .....Again

Freddie Starr.

Must admit I thought he'd died years ago.

Just on stage !!

Danny Baker's career.

Wretched little twit.

Couldn't agree more!

Truly a great lady - the girl next door - as you say many, many great innings.

And immortalised by Groucho Marx: "I knew her before she was a virgin."

Both of those....A shame.

A talented performer who spent her retirement helping animals in distress, rather than being just another media tart "celebrity"!

From the sublime to the ridiculous...

Nikki Lauda, almost certainly the best driver of his time. I have to confess that, like many Brit fans in 1976, we were so desperate for James Hunt to win the World Championship that we tended to underplay Lauda's heroism in returning to the cockpit so soon after his horrific German GP crash. But absolutely no-one was upset or surprised when he became World Champion the following year.

When finding out that he was never recorded as starting the German Grand Prix in which he crashed - only the restart after the crash was recorded in the official statistics - he promptly asked that in that case what had happened to his ear.....

And the ridiculous?  Tardar Sauce, age 7, the internet phenomenon known as Grumpy Cat. Got a mention on the BBC and across the National Press, something not many cats can claim!

Judith Kerr 

Spent umpteen hours reading her books to my kids. Marvellous woman

Welcome to the forum, PeterEm. 

Nikki Lauda...Great shame.....(Matt) Judith Kerr....Sadly....Don't remember her, at all....'Grumpy cat'...That wasn't very old for a cat....But I've seen his (?) image on numerous occasions.

Nothing worse than losing a loved cat.
