Sad to see that Bernard Cribbins has passed away at the age of 93. A mainstay of British entertainment for many years.

For those of a younger age who haven't heard of him;

RIP Bernard, thanks for the memories.

One of those few people that you could honestly say could do it all. From comedy to serious acting, musical numbers, kids TV there was nothing that he could not do it seems. A sad loss.

You stole the words out of my mouth! He was, indeed, a truly versatile entertainer. Not many of his ilk around these days. Sad news.

What a wonderful life he led, how much pleasure did he bring to people? He seemed to be one of the nice guys. He will leave behind a lot of very happy memories.

 

[Norrin Radd]

Oh so sad...an icon of my childhood and early teens years...never mind The Wombles...it was his reading on Jackanory that I really loved.

Word legend cast around too easily these days but Bernard Cribbins was indeed a legend. Could read a children's story like no other and many more things besides.
Lost his wife of 66yrs last October, didn't really get over it, it appears. Hopefully back together now. Thanks for making my childhood that much better.

My dad still has the hole in the ground record in his loft. I used to listen to it when I was a kid. I probably wore it out. RIP Mr Cribbins.

I read his biography, a great read and eye opening.
Apart from his varied entertainment history he also had good stories of his service in the Paras.
