I read a quote from him along the lines of "That nine muinutes in Fawlty Towers completely changed my life". Amazing that it was only 9 mins but he's so well remembered for it.

Loved him in the recent Willie Wonka film ,his Grand Pa character was one of the highlights of the film.

Loved him in Robin's Nest as I was growing up, but he played some wonderful parts in films and on stage as well. Once said the he had "...spent 52-53 years on stage, and yet "Fawlty Towers", those full 9 minutes, make me recognised anywhere in the world".

RIP Mr Kelly.

Edit: spent too long writing this and see Dave saw same quote. Lovely to see he stood out for a lot of us across many years.
