RIPs

I remember Peter Vaughn played a great role in my favourite '90s drama Our Friends In The North. A fine actor RIP.

I also fondly remember him as Wolfie Smith's girlfriend's dad. I had no idea that he was married to Billie Whitelaw though.

A real shame that, but at 93, it's not a shabby innings at all.

Never watched Game of Thrones, but Porridge is, of course, the best sitcom ever, so he'll always be Grouty to me.

RIP, Mr Vaughn

was suitably/sensibly scared of Grouty as a Juve! he was so nice in GOT, though!

Wasn't he? He pretty much fit my mental image of maister Aemon.

I'll always remember him from 'A warning to the curious' one of MR James stories adapted by the BBC during the 70's. I re watched it with Family who weren't that impressed with it but I enjoy ghost stories at Christmas and Peter Vaughn's performance as the down on his luck clerk searching for the lost Crowns is excellent. I'm very sad to hear he's left the stage so to speak.

I couldn't believe he was only in 3 episodes of Porridge.

Wow, really...I wonder how many episodes he was mentioned, though.

I never liked him. Completley disagreed wih everything that man ever wrote. Not just his opinions on food, but everything he turned his critical eye upon. He was just consistently wrong.

I shall miss him, the bastard.

AA Gill slagged off my hometown. But I lost no sleep over it.
Didn't he once shoot a Baboon?

And former Weatherman Ian McCaskill leaves us.
