Oh dear. That seems out of the blue.

 

[ButterTart]

No! Not Cracker!

 

[COB]

RIP Fitz

 

[Ellie]

Oh no. He will always be Hazel from Danny The Champion of the World for me. And Samuel Johnson in Blackadder III

A staple of my teens as a comic actor and, yes, I loved Cracker. Sad news. RIP.

 

[Rita]

Oh no. That is really sad and unexpected.

"He is survived by his sister Annie Rae, his children Spencer and Alice and their mother Rhona Gemmell. They would like to thank the medical staff at Forth Valley Royal Hospital in Larbert for their care and diplomacy."

What a strange choice of phrase.

Cracker was iconic. Had no idea he was a comic though. I always thought of him as a cross between a Scottish Orson Welles and the guy on the McEwans Lager cans looks wise. And I thought his Cracker co-star was the spit of her from Olive.

 

[Vicky the Vole]

Oh no. R.i.p

History will remember him for playing Ken Livingstone, the title character of Kate Bush's song Ken. RIP.

Oh Hagrid!
