Oh dear. I just saw him recently in something.
I know a bit how felt - I have asthma and am
overweight, so wheeze around...

Oh how sad. He brought me such joy over the years - so many great
evenings of laughter and giggles and sheer abandon.

He will be sorely missed.

I hope they'll repeat If You See God, Tell Him.

I thought it was still running on one of the out-there stations?

Hope so. Felicity Kendall always wore loose fitting outfits in the
early episodes.

I'd like to see it renewed. If written well, a new version could be
pretty interesting. It could easily and interestingly tap in to the "off
grid" / self build / DIY culture that we now have, and there would be a
hell of a lot more issues and hurdles for a new off grid couple to
negotiate, while pensioners Barbara and Margo wryly watch on. Which
would then allow the issues Briers raised to be aired. (He didn't like
his character much, thought he was self indulgent and selfish, and took
the piss out of poor Barbara).

This is one show I think could be revived well. Or be a mess. But I
think such a show could have legs again.

I remember seeing Niamh Cusack expose a nipple in Heartbeat, which
when repeated on ITV3 at teatimes was left in. Quite surprised me
that did, as it was more obvious than Felicity Kendal's was.
