AMR67 Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 (edited) Just heard on the news that Roy Hudd has died aged 83. He was probably the last of the music hall era of comedians who also wrote endless material for other comics. RIP Roy.

Jim Hardie Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 I saw him in a show called Out of the Blue at a tiny theatre in Babbacombe in 1962. I remember thinking he was one to watch out for. The News Huddlines was a great radio show back in the day. RIP Roy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dropout Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 R.I.P. Roy Hudd. Up there with Ken Dodd, Bob Monkhouse et al. Not so many of the Good Old Days left now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaffa1 Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 I never use to like Roy Hudd when he was young but then I saw him in the TV series Lipstick on your Collar, he played a dirty old man and I thought what a good actor he was. I've liked him ever since. Many years later I wrote an article about old time music halls to a magazine and out of the blue he wrote me a lovely short letter. I've still got it somewhere, bless him.

In my view he was an incredibly underrated actor. What a lovely thing to do write back to you. Edited April 2, 2020 by mickey finn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
