Richard Beckinsale - Bloomers (1979) His last TV series

[SamGuitarTunes]

I never knew Boycie used to be a copper!

[flaxonx3]

Remember coming home from school and hearing he'd died, didn't make sense. Though he seemed to have been around for years despite only being 31, together with Robert Lindsay seemed to be on an ever upward trajectory as the future of British comedy.

THIS GUY SHOULD STILL BE ALIVE TODAY, HE HAD LOTS OF WARNING SIGNS OVER THE COMING WEEKS OF HS DEATH, HE KNEW THINGS WERE NOT RIGHT & SO DID THE DOCTOR & CO WORKERS, THE DOC SAID RICHARD HAD HIGH CHOLESTEROL LEVELS.

Top bloke Richard seemed a very nice genuine person. He didn't look too well in this clip and it was around this time he was suffering dizzy spells and blackouts with an increasing pale complexion. It was tragic that he died within weeks of this being filmed. He was destined for other great work, Ronnie Baker and Leonard Rossiter were so fond of him. We all were.

any ideas where i can buy/download the series??

[julesthemadman]

I was just about to say the same thing. There is something strangely reassuring about seeing the bearded actor who was, as you say, in Going Straight.

[carliboy908]

It's the hotel owner out of going straight :) They use all the same actors in those days

[Vosserful]

Very sad! Isn't that John Challis though as the other policeman?

[uncleambient]

Richard was a wonderful actor who is sadly missed.

[ekul85]

the police offier is the prison guard in going straight when fletch first leaves slade lol

[geraint0808]

David Swift looks like Uncle Albert in this.

[gibbo1988]

The copper at 1.58 is Boycie i think

[geraint0808]

It is Boycie.

[misseybiatch2k10]

[Voxac100b]

Trees like an acid soil class.

[spinout3]

[marts500]

Anyone recognise the pc with the moustache..?.Boycie from fools and horses!

[Spiv62]

Ha ha Has to be.

[liamthomson84]

I believe ur right

[Banner1979]

Oh, dear, what would Fletcher have said? (Lol!)

Thankfully, Boycie didn't scream MARLEEEEN!

This shows what a funny bloke Richard was. Much missed.

[WENGERGOONER]

They say the good die young,so Richard must of been really good because he died really young.

You could tell he was a good bloke,...there was just nothing not to like about the man.

[LongLiveOx]

Richard was such an endearing actor. You couldn't not like him. Handsome, sweet, and funny, he died appalingly too young. He accomplished a lot though, and his work will continue to be enjoyed for generations to come.

[jackwildfan15]

So sad this is one of the last things he ever did :( brilliant performance as always!

[andywillcox]

lovely performances, a gentle comedy.
