Sad news, another icon of Aussie TV gone.

Very sad news. One of the country's great comedic actors. And he did a shit load of commercial voice overs for 40 years on both TV and radio.

Kingswood Country was one of THE great Aussie comedies: very sad news.

"Yes hello: immigration? Are you the officer in charge of deporting wog uncles?"

'You're not taking the Kingswood, I just shampooed the mad flaps.'

Sad to hear as another part of our past slips away.

Great actor, was interesting to see him in a serious role in Richmond Hill, a few years after Kingswood Country.

I remember seeing him on WHERE ARE THEY NOW a few years back, with Mrs Bullpitt (actress Judi Farr), there seemed to be quite a bit of tension between them.
