Ah that's a shame.

Really enjoyed their boating show, seemed to be a nice guy and him and Prunella Scales seemed to have a really sweet relationship after all those years.

RIP.

Wonderful actor, the first thing I remember him in was Edward VII when I was a nipper. He has been in so much great stuff, but Brass was probably my favourite. RIP Timothy.

He came across as so loving to his wife on that canal programme. Heaven knows what she'll do without him. RIP.

He was superb in A Very Peculiar Practice, where he played a maniac professor, if anyone remembers that.

Really sad news, but that’s one hell of a life so very well lived. Have enjoyed seeing him with Pru on their various canal trips. A very talented family and so obviously really nice people too. Rest in Peace Tim.
