I had no idea he was 86 I would have thought he was much younger. Strangely when I was little (about 9 years old) I got him confused with Dennis Waterman and told my Mum I liked El C.I.D when I meant Minder. Although John Bird has appeared in many things over the years I'll always remember him as Ned from the sitcom 'Joint Account' (1989-1990) with Hannah Gordon and Peter Egan it was a sitcom about a bank with Egan playing a househusband to Gordon who was a bank manager (another DVD still shrink wrapped and waiting for me).
R.I.P

Used to like El C.I.D.
I also remember him for guest starring in Dick Turpin, C.A.T.S Eyes and Travelling Man plus a recurring role in A Very Peculiar Practice .
RIP John.

Hugely influential satirist and a decent actor to boot. Favourite role: Hemingway in A Very Peculiar Practice. RIP.
