SaitoRyo Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperBacon Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Thunderplex Posted February 21 Paid Members Share Posted February 21 Seemingly he passed in a residential care home, so must have been ill for a while. Â Tragic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Carbomb Posted February 23 Paid Members Share Posted February 23 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.

Trust me on that. As a reply I always called her 'Ah say Ashley lad" until she begged me to stop.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperBacon Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Hands down my favourite ever Corrie character not named Dev. A comedy genius. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members gmoney Posted February 23 Paid Members Share Posted February 23 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daddymagic Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 (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 by Daddymagic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
