SaitoRyo Posted February 21, 2024 Posted February 21, 2024 Keith Bishop is a brilliant sitcom character and he played it so well. Ewen Macintosh was by all accounts a great guy in real life, too. The big man is eating scotch eggs in heaven now. RIP.
Members SuperBacon Posted February 21, 2024 Members Posted February 21, 2024 He'll be up there now, telling everyone that over there fanny means your arse...not your minge. Very sad, a note perfect performance in a note perfect show.
Paid Members Thunderplex Posted February 21, 2024 Paid Members Posted February 21, 2024 Seemingly he passed in a residential care home, so must have been ill for a while. Tragic.

Paid Members Carbomb Posted February 23, 2024 Paid Members Posted February 23, 2024 Great character actor, John Savident. Could switch between posh and working class, and would fit either perfectly. Superb as complacent Old-School-Tie civil servant "Jumbo" in Yes, Minister. Also had a brilliant and brief, bulldog-chops-wobbling moment in Hudson Hawk as the auctioneer. RIP.

I have heard this a fair few times in my fifty years. Trust me on that. As a reply I always called her 'Ah say Ashley lad" until she begged me to stop.

Members SuperBacon Posted February 23, 2024 Members Posted February 23, 2024 Hands down my favourite ever Corrie character not named Dev. A comedy genius.
Paid Members gmoney Posted February 23, 2024 Paid Members Posted February 23, 2024 John Savident definitely one for "I thought they were dead already" file. My dad nearly ran him over many years ago when he walked into the street without looking. My dad also nearly ran over Noel Edmunds, who was arguing with his current girlfriend and not looking where he was going. If I remember any other celebs my dad nearly killed in his car, I'll post them here.
Daddymagic Posted February 23, 2024 Posted February 23, 2024 (edited) Anyone else remember him being attacked in the 90s in Newcastle? Savident said he was giving him acting lessons in his hotel. Everyone else said he got beat up by a rent boy. Think he has his throat slashed too from what I remember Edited February 23, 2024 by Daddymagic
