    He was a great character actor. John Horsley along with Leonard Rossiter and John Baron made Reggie Perrin one of the best SitCom casts ever

    I didn't recognise his name, but on Googling him, I realise I've seen him in many, many films - one of those excellent actors who were always there, but you maybe couldn't name them.

    R.I.P. John.

    Totally agree with this. It is one of my all time favourite sitcoms and so true to life even today. RIP John.

    As are Catherine Rabbett and Susie Brann who played Lord Meldrum's two daughters

    Frank Williams who played The Bishop in 14 episodes is still alive and is also one of the few remaining regular cast members of Dad's Army
