He was fab in OFAH. I remember being completely surprised when he turned up in the Interview With A Vampire film. Much more to him than Trigger, although obviously that's what he'll be remember for. A great actor
Very sad shocking news . I didn't even know he had been ill to be honest . Some friends of ours own a holiday let and they had the pleasure of his company a few years ago for a week.
Oh, what a shame as he was a brilliant actor, but was quite happy to be in a supporting role. Next door neighbours had her father living there in his last years and he had the same voice as RLP - every time I went past, I would hear "All right, Dave".
RLP was very good as David Irving in that drama about the Hitler Diaries and it must take a lot of talent and courage to play such controversial people.
Oh God what a shock, I'd no idea he'd been unwell.
He was fabulous as both Trigger in OFAH and Owen in Vicar of Dibley, and also a tremendous campaigner for social justice. He'll be missed, that's for sure.
Very sad news. Roger did not have many words to say in OFAH but his look and the way he delivered them produced alot of the belly laughs. A simply great sitcom character creation in the greatest UK sitcom imo. At its peak a true national treasure.
This is extremely sad news. Roger was great as Trigger and many other roles I saw him play, but it was his role as Owen Newitt in The Vicar Of Dibley that he gave me the most laughs.

RIP Roger-thanks for the many many laughs.
In terms of screen time, Trigger may well go down as the funniest character ever. I can't remember a scene in OFAH including Trigger that didn't have me in bits afterwards.
If they were thinking of doing another few episodes, they might as well forget it now.

That is very sad news. He was brilliant as Owen in Vicar of Dibley. How tragic that we'll never see him on screen again.
RIP Roger

Very sad news.
Mercifully, it can be one of the quickest.
Loved Trigger, and wouldn't it be nice to see his '20 yr old' broom auctioned for Cancer Research.
RIP
RIP Roger.

RIP Roger, so glad to have lived in a time of great comedies that allowed such wonderful actors to excel in their craft.
Play it cool Trig, play it cool.....
It's hard to see Only Fools without Trigger. The cast is going to be much-diminished now.
Trigger was a real character, one of the best! Will never be forgotten.
