RIP Peter Vaughan

[Blue in Munich]

Another one slips away. Star of Game of Thrones, Fox and of course Porridge, as Genial Harry Grout. RIP.

Immense career... RIP

 

[Lord Tyrion]

Real on screen presence. 40yrs on and we still know him as Groutie. Good innings.

Think he was also in Citizen Smith as the father-in-law.

You're not wrong, I'd missed that one.

Real on screen presence. 40yrs on and we still know him as Groutie. Good innings.

And apparently only in 3 episodes, which just reinforces your point about a screen presence.

I was surprised when I read that as well Blue, just the 3 plus the film

I always think of him as Nicky's Dad in Our Friends from the north, and his line "nice cuppa tea pet?" often gets asked in my family.
