Aww, he was great, used to make me laugh.
To be honest, I thought he was already dead...
RIP Leslie.

Oh I say...

[goodgoalie]

Sad. Saw him in a really good production of Camino Real at the RSC in Stratford several years ago. RIP

[Bobbisox1]

Used to love LP, I can always imagine Sqad to have been a bit like him in his days as a Consultant

[naomi24]

Ahhhh ... lovely, funny man. A good innings.

[goodgoalie]

Oh no Bobbi, much more Sir Lancelot Spratt:

[Patsy33]

^^ I agree, gg :-))

[Bobbisox1]

Mmm,yes, yr right GG played by the lovely James Robertson Justice

[-SharonA-]

He had a bad cancer growth on his nose.

[ZebuSanctuary]

'I Say'... What a fine actor he was.

There cannot be many of the original 'Carry On' cast left now?

[goodgoalie]

His best bits:

[Barsel]

R.I.P Leslie Phillips, he lived to a good age.

I think Jim Dale is the last man standing.

Used to love listening to Leslie Phillips on The Navy Lark back in the day. RIP.

[netibiza]

Yes an old mate of line here in Ibiza along with Terry-thomas and Denholm Elliott and Kenneth Williams. Used to chat and have coffee in the 70s

[Lie-in King]

Sad news indeed. RIP Leslie.

[burlyshirley1]

Aww one of the best, good long life though.

[Spicerack]

I liked him. 'Always' played the same part to perfection.

[Hopkirk]

Nice voiceover

He'll always be Sub-Lieutenant Phillips, in The Navy Lark, for me. The only navigational command he ever seemed to give was "Left hand down a bit" ;-)

[jourdain2]

I feel really saddened. A passing knell for a rather gentler age. Well loved, he always brought a smile to one's face.
'Ding dong' indeed. R.I.P. Leslie.
