Same here, I think it was only last week he pulled out of some live shows due to ill health.

RIP John.

Ffs, a great of my favourite tv show ever. RIP.

For gawds sake Marlene, have a day off! I might be able to con people into buying my cars, I might even be able to convince them that you conceived and gave birth within 7 days, but how the hell am I going to persuade them my grandad was Louis Armstrong?

Not particularly pc these days I guess, but very of the day and absolute comedy gold.

Boycie was a fantastic character. Everything around Del Boy and Rodney was a bit one dimensional but he played it to perfection.

Large cigar in one hand, glass of cognac in the other and that laugh of his. What a great character in a truly remarkable tv show.

RIP Boycie. :(

Very sad by this news. Only Fools was a bit before my time, but I really liked him as Monty in Benidorm.

RIP

Sad news.

I only really knew him from OFAH, but Boycie was a good character in a great show.

Most of the sitcoms I love are from the 70's and 80's and most actors in them are now sadly departed. Fools & Horses was one of the more 'recent' by my standards, as it was just about still going into the 21st century, but obviously time is catching up with those as well. :(

Such sad news, such a wonderful actor.

Thank you, Mr Challis, for all the hours of entertainment you gave us. Only Fools is one of our favourite all-time shows and will live with us forever.

The episode of ofah where Boycie and Dell play poker is still one of the funniest Ive ever seen. RIP
