For fans of British tv, Geoffrey Hughes, who played Onslow on Keeping Up Appearances, died last Friday. Onslow is one of my favorite tv characters. I'd wish they ran more British series over here because US tv is unwatchable.

He was a great actor, and Onslow was a great character.

This is horrible. I loved the Onslow character. "Anymore beer?" Whenever the wife and daughters aggravate me too much I just yell out; Oh nice! RIP
Cheers, Todd

A gay friend of mine absolutely loved Onslow, thought him hilarious. For me it was a ten gag show I could take once in a while. Still, he did what he did well. RIP

I'll have a bag of smoky bacon crisps in his honor.
If I can find one here in Chicago, that is...
