Sadly, I've just read that the great British actor Richard Briers passed away yesterday.

DW fans will remember him from Paradise Towers.

He was in Torchwood: A Day in the Death too.

Now I need to find "The Good Neighbours" online. That, and maybe "Monarch of the Glen"

"Monarch of the Glen" is on Netflix Instant, and "The Good Life" used to be, but is now disc-only.

"The Good Life" was our introduction to Richard Briers, several years ago. I even have the box set of the first three seasons on DVD.

The Good Life/Neighbors was also my introduction to him when it was shown on the local PBS station. I loved Monarch and was so upset/cried when he was written out

[fiddlingfrog]

Oh no.

And Elspet Gray, aka Chancellor Thalia in Arc of Infinity (this after we'd already lost Dinah Sheridan, aka Chancellor Flavia in The Five Doctors, back in November).

And Bernard Horsfall, aka Chancellor Goth in The Deadly Assassin among others. The TIme Lord ranks grow ever diminished.
