@thesitcomclub.bsky.social Devastated to find out the location for Hope It Rains has been demolished. Found the last picture of it standing on streetview. Please have a one minute silence for it on the next pod.

Bluesky has been just lovely today with its outpouring of affection for Brian Murphy. When social media works.

It’s a sad day here. Our dear friend Brian Murphy has left us for the cinema in the sky. The world is a sadder place without this lovely man. We shall miss him terribly.

Gutted. Brian Murphy gone. A man responsible for one of the greatest - and under appreciated- characters in British comedy, George Roper.

Some actors capture an aspect of their historical moment. The combover, the knitwear, the wheedling and fussing - Brian Murphy was the absolute exemplar of a certain kind of postwar masculinity - the salaryman born slightly too early for the Permissive Society. RIP.

Brian Murphy, actor best known for George and Mildred, dies aged 92

R.I.P. Brian Murphy.

I've been doing it again.
