I remember watching this show with my family growing up (showing my age here!). He had 'The Good Life' and got me into gardening.

    So awful. He WAS Watership Down. This is more horrifying than the prospect of watching Mama this evening.

    Last I saw him was a great cameo in Extras. I remembered Briers very well on The Good Life, which my mum used to watch when I was little but I only appreciated the series on later re-runs, a sweet old fashioned vintage British comedy with super actors including Briers, Penelope Kieth, Felicity Kendal and Paul Eddington. But for some reason I most fondly remember him as the voice of one of the main rabbits in Watership Down. RIP.

    ...and of course Hector in Monarch of the Glen (who also met an untimely end involving an exploding dog if memory serves me!).

    A huge loss to Britain.

    Much sadness.

    RIP Tom
