A sad day for millions. He was an actor who just knew what to do with comedy, and how to deliver a funny line, but over and above that was a terrific leading man. Farewell, Mr Tripp/Turpin. #RichardOSullivan

Sad to hear that Norman Eshley has passed away. Began his screen career in an Orson Welles film (pictured) & demonstrated a fine range, from comedy to horror. My father was absolutely delighted with his performance as a cowardly graduate rookie in Sweeney episode Taste of Fear.

Some actors capture an aspect of their historical moment. The combover, the knitwear, the wheedling and fussing - Brian Murphy was the absolute exemplar of a certain kind of postwar masculinity - the salaryman born slightly too early for the Permissive Society. RIP.
