I can't say I've watched a lot of Leslie Phillips performances, but I do think he was excellent in the TV series Chancer as Jimmy Blake. RIP

I am sure he is 'ding donging' somewhere up there right now.  RIP Leslie.  |

Top line actor and more versatile than most people gave him credit for. And way, way down the list of his credits is one as the director of the short-lived stage play of The Avengers TV series. Such a long career, so many fine performances, always welcome on screen or on stage. RIP and total respect.  |

He was a classic. An absolute icon. Starred in some right rubbish along the way but always a good name to pop up in any credits and also dished out his fair share of classics.
Can’t say I’ve seen lots and lots of his output but I’ve seen enough.
RIP Leslie.

I remember being surprised at him still being alive when I watched 'Love on a Branch Line' in 1994. Being a big Carry On fan as well, I'm sad to hear of his demise, but 98 is not a bad knock.
RIP

98 is a fair age and he has left a fair few decades of work behind him, he also seemed a nice and engaging man in interviews. RIP

He was great in the Lovejoy episode 'The Galloping Major' (1993) where he played Major Eddie Turpin who was an expert on cannons who Lovejoy hired to value a massive cannon that he bought from a scrapyard and after valuing it the Major decides to return to try and steal it.
RIP

Memorable as The Sorting Hat in the Harry Potter films! It would have been a nice earner for a man of his age too. |
