RIP Brian Wilde
I have to confess that I had heard he died a few years back, I think I read it on the internet.

RIP Brian. You were a true comic genius. I'll miss that nervous and stammering character acting you played so well.

I've just found out - it's a very sad day indeed for fans and stars of British comedy. Brian Wilde was one of the best comedy actors ever - and one of the very few to create two favourite characters in two of the best sitcoms of all-time - the gullible Mr Barraclough in "Porridge" and the interfering but loveable Foggy Dewhurst in "Summer Wine". RIP Brian.

Very sad news, I loved him in Porridge and Last of the Summer Wine. A lovable character who always reminded me of my dad. R.I.P. Brian.

Alas, he shall be sorely missed. Him and Paul Scofield in one day, phew, what a blow!

This has not been a good Maundy Thursday, with the deaths of two fine actors.
Brian Wilde may have been working in a very different field from that of Paul Scofield, but I enjoyed the work of both of them, and they will both be sadly missed.

As Foggy Dewhurst he was head and shoulders above (excuse the pun) the other "tall" characters of the resident wandering trio, who seemed to change with monotonous regularity. I would have been happy had he managed to stay the entire 40-year run. Forget "Porridge".

I loved him as Mr Barraclough in Porridge. He was wonderful. RIP Foggy.

Apart from the obvious characters of Foggy and Mr. Barraclough, I will always remember Brian in the sadisticly straight role as Topcliff, the Elizabethan Royal Torturer, in 1971's Elizabeth R.
A Truly sinister performance and one worthy of such a great actor. Comedy or Drama made no difference to a talent like this.

He was also good at playing sinister villains, such as 'Mr.Peacock' in the 'Ace Of Wands' series ( it came out on D.V.D. last year ). Such a subtle, understated performance. R.I.P. Brian Wilde.
