Oh no!! Grew up watching this guy and loved him as Wilf in Doctor Who - RIP.

Anyone know if he filmed his scenes for the upcoming Doctor Who episodes?

Brilliant actor. Top bloke.

The narrator of the Wombles too.

 

[Hagar]

Theatre and film actor, TV star, Top ten performer, comedian, what did he not do in the entertaining business.

A long and full career. Good bloke too.

 

[Kelt]

RIP

Had a good innings, though.

 

[Werewolf]

Bernard was one of those actors who seemed to be all over the place when I was younger, although often in voice rather than on screen.

RIP

 

[Glanza]

RIP, wonder if they filmed all his scenes for the Dr Who special.

 

[Feek]

RIP, wonder if they filmed all his scenes for the Dr Who special.

I was thinking the same, there were some pictures a while ago so I hope so.

 

[GGizmo]

A master of the acting world.

RIP

 

[Draeger]

Genuinely saddened by this news. I'm 51 next week and grew up with a lot of his work when I was younger. And then when my son was born in 2011 a short while later it was his turn to be captivated by Bernard in 'Old Jacks Boat' which my little lad absolutely adored. Bernard had a face, character and demeanour that made you smile as soon as he appeared on screen. As others have said, decent innings though at 93 years of age. RIP.
