    I saw him in Chekhov's 'Three Sisters' at Greenwich Theatre with the unbelievably beautiful Joanna Whalley as Masha.
    He was superb.
    RIP.

    Count me as another who didn't realise he was that old. Sad to hear he has passed. Wallace and Gromit is one if the greatest creations in the history of TV and Film.

    A former customer of decades past you could not wish to meet a more charming individual who possessed such an immense but hugely understated talent. Thank you for providing so many endless hours of enjoyment.

    A true gentlemen - rest in peace.

    Three sisters at Greenwich. Am I right in saying Helena Bonham Carter also in cast? Definitely remember it was bloody boring.

    But RIP for a great actor, particularly in Raymond Briggs great radio play (and animated film) "When the Wind Blows" with Brenda Bruce, describing an elderly couple following useless Government instructions on how to stay safe following Soviet nuclear bomb attack, they both eventually die. Somewhat different to Briggs's "The Snowman".

    Brought pleasure into the lives of people with the characters he portrayed over many years.

    Seemed a nice bloke in real life too from what Nick Park said on Front Row last night.

    RIP

    Haven't seen/heard any versions of When The Wind Blows, but I've got the book (graphic novel) and it's brilliant. Absolutely chilling.
