Robbie Coltrane - RIP

[Whisperer]

Left the building age 72, I read on the twin town thread that Paul Durden had died earlier this year so it made me think of the comic strip presents the Strike Robbie was brilliant in that and it was all filmed up the valleys

RIP big man.

RIP Robbie, I will always fondly remember nuns on the run, mainly because it was one of my first sight of female boob in the shower scene

That episode with him and Robert Carlyle as the Liverpool fan getting revenge for Hillsborough was superb.

Not sure why but I was convinced he died about 10 years ago. I know Mel Smith croaked it so maybe I just muddled them up. I was convinced he’d been brown bread for years though.

Don't think he'd been well for years. Hardly been seen in public and when he was he was either using a stick or in a wheelchair.

Thought he was great from The Comic Strip to Cracker. My wife grew up with his daughter and she used to go to their house after school. She said he was a fantastic bloke, very dry, very funny but a bit scary.

Strange connection, I knew Paul for 30 years and my wife knew Robbie's daughter growing up in Brentford. The old six degrees of separation

Yes that was a superb episode in an excellent series
