Richard O'Sullivan, Man About the House star, dies aged 82
Ah, farewell to Richard O'Sullivan, who didn't have the easiest of later years, and hard to emphasise just how famous he was in his heyday. Enjoyed revisiting Man About the House last year. #RIP
Justin Lewis9(As you always have to say with old sitcoms, there's the odd line where you roll your eyes, but mostly holds up well.)
Anna3Always loved the thought he was growing old in the retirement home for entertainers. Must be an extraordinary place
Pegdeg2His fellow compatriots have been regular visitors to see him....
Andy B2When I was thinking about the Sunday night comedy idea I mentioned the other day, I think Me & My Girl was another one of them? Ran for a couple of series I think.
Chris Gomm1Me and My Girl was the one I remember watching growing up though have watched some.pf.the older stuff too. And a child actor in Carry On Teacher too. It said he had lived in that care home for 23 years...so given he died aged 82 he must have lived there since age only 59...
Poor and by all accounts very decent man, whom I remember (just about) even from the days of the Cliff Richard musicals. God speed him.
Sad. One of those actors you grew up with and so likable they felt as familiar as family. Sympathies to best pals George Layton and Robin Askwith who kept us updated on how he was doing over the years. R.I.P Richard O'Sullivan: Man About the House star dies aged 82 share.google/KJAhHNhhrnW3...
Dean1I had always hoped that Richard & Mike Yarwood could star in a buddy detective show set in the old actors home they lived their twilight years RIP
Simon James1Used to enjoy their updates when they paid him a visit at his retirement home. Made me think very highly of them and of Richard to inspire such love.
Sean ☀️✨🌙1Very sad, another one from my youth 💔
Great to see so much love for Richard O'Sullivan. By the 80s he had become cosy and unfashionable, but he was wonderful. Charming, dry, a great physical comic actor, but he could also do great work in drama too. Man About the House has aged surprisingly well and a lot of that is down to him.
Joe Scaramanga5Though I always hated him a little bit for having sexy times with Gabrielle Drake in The Au Pair Girls.
99th Red Balloon3Richard O'Sullivan was one of my replacement dads when mine fucked off. Him, Geoffrey from Rainbow and The Village People 😂
Forza Bahab3The whole cast of MATH was great, and he held his own and more in that company.
Liberal England: Richard O'Sullivan's This is Your Life from 1974 This was filmed just as O'Sullivan's adult career had taken off because of his starring role in ITV's Man About the House.
KS_19685This is so lovely. Some brilliant clips and stories plus Trevor Howard and Prunella Scales!!
Chris Worthing4The penultimate named actor from "Cleopatra"; he played Ptolemy XIII. The last surviving named actor is Francesca Annis, who was his girlfriend at the time of filming, played (E)Iras; one of the two loyal attendants at Cleopatra's death.
