Very sad to read this. I remember him in Minder as the syrup purveyor, very funny. 'Burt Reynolds' Enjoyed this at the time. I think he used to do that character on Laugh? I Nearly Paid My Licence Fee as well, but called Edgar Bloodlusten? A parody of the presenter of the 1950s true crime series Scotland Yard. I remember the sketches became progressively more gory and absurd, culminating with Robbie Coltrane sitting there with his throat cut, covered in claret, but still conducting his usual po-faced monologue to camera.

Been catching a lot of his Comic Strip performances recently as I'm going through the series from the start. What stands out about Robbie is the often outlandishness of the roles he takes in them - and his sublime comic timing. Fabulous comic actor.
