RIP George Mallaby from "Homicicde"

[Dry Rot]

Farewell George - were you the last one left?

Was it just me, or did anyone else think Alwyn Kurts looked like a bent copper?

Didn't hear about this. Sad ....

Used to love watching Cop Shop when I was about 12 or so and George was part of a great ensemble.

RIP

He'll always be Colonel Mustard to me... RIP Mike!

I wonder if he got buried in the brown suit?

RIP George.

I tell ya, there are what...50-odd channels on pay TV? Surely one of them could start running Homicide, Division 4, Matlock Police and the like again.

A few years back, when Homicide had its 30th anniversary Channel 7 screened a week or so of the series at 2 in the afternoon. It was great stuff and a special delight was seeing just how much suburban Melbourne had changed over the years.

I'd love to see them play Homicide, Division 4, Cop Shop, Matlock Police, etc again. Great Aussie cop shows!

Shame about George Mallaby - RIP.

Saw Mallaby in the famous ABC TV series from the mid-1970s 'Power without Glory' recently, he was excellent in that.
