Butterflies was my favourite when I was a kid, all our dinners were just like Ria's

RIP Geoffrey and your funny sideways face

Sad news.

"I am not grumpy," he once said of his distinctively jowly features. "I just look this way."

And yet, he played grumpy characters so well. And pretty much every other sort of character. A great actor - RIP.

"cock-up on the catering front" is the line I most associate with Geoff.

He did. Yet he was also the voice of the Mr Men too

Well, narrator.

Was he?! The version we had on tape as kids was narrated by Arthur Lowe!

Yeah. He did the reboot when they had Mr Men and Little Miss episodes

 

[Elpenor]

Facially reminded me of Walther Matthau, as an actor similarly stole scenes when I saw him on the screen

Top character actor!

RIP

Something of a character, maybe it was that face.

Very enjoyable characters. No one you'd willingly spend time with in real life.

RIP

That’s sad to hear and Nicholas Lyndhurst’s son, actor Archie Lyndhurst 19, died at the beginning of October, following a short illness.

As Time Goes By

Dench and Palmer also appeared together in one of the Bond Movies, reprising their dynamic from As Time Goes By.

Very enjoyable characters. No one you'd willingly spend time with in real life.

RIP

I think Butterflies captured the 70s family meal perfectly..
