BRIAN MURPHY - BFCC PATRON

Sad news early in February 2025 is that Brian Murphy, our long time patron of more than 20 years, has died. Brian was a highly successful and respected actor who first came to a mass audience attention in the 1970's situation comedy series 'Man About The House'. There were two spin-offs from this hugely successful show and the best known of them is 'George & Mildred' which saw Brian reprise his role as George Roper along with Yootha Joyce as his wife Mildred. In more recent years, Brian was one of the three lead actors in the long running series 'Last Of The Summer Wine'. Brian was last with us at the combined Talking Pictures TV and BFCC LITE event in St. Albans in October 2024 where he was still in fine fettle and enjoying a good laugh with everyone. A lovely man and a true British gent.
