I know he commented recently about his breathing difficulties being of his own making (for smoking) but I hadn't realised that he was that close to death.

The Good Life was always one of my favourites

Yes that's so sad. I also read his article recently about being "shot" due to his 80 a day habit but was not expecting this news so soon.
A very good actor who will be remembered for The Good Life, Everdecreasing Circles (loved this) and also excellent in King Lear.

Sad news indeed, 79 is not a bad age to live to.

He always struck me as being a hugely talented actor and a really lovely man.

It is a big loss - but let's count our blessings ...... aren't we so very lucky to have enjoyed his talent.

Thankyou Richard Briers, thankyou.

The Good Life and Ever Deceasing Circles were true comedy classics.

I'm sad to hear that Richard Briers has died

The Good Life was such a good sit com. Very funny and Richard Briars will be remembered for years to come for his excellent portrayal of the self-sufficiency comedy character. Will be sadly missed.

So sad to hear this news I had no idea he suffered from emphysema. Something I know only too well as my Father had the same illness and I always said that he was the perfect advert for not smoking as it is a very debilitating illness.

Richard was a talented actor and his timing in comedy was brilliant and his classical parts were amazing, you will be missed.. Thanks for sharing your talent with us.

I wasn't even aware he was ill.

RIP Richard.

We were fortunate enough to have him on a Xmas cruise a few years ago, he and 3 or 4 others staged several plays, I think it was something P&O tried and it can't have been that successful because I never saw it again.

Yes a sad loss. Still, we all have to pop off at some stage.

I once asked him for directions when in London many moons ago, not realising it was him until I drove off and then thinking 'that was.......'

Wonder how long before the press start digging around for any gos.
