RIP Robbie, think I was introduced to him by 'Laugh I Nearly Paid My License Fee' on BBC 2. Then there was the series where he played the singer in a Scottish rock n roll band. Wouldn't have seen much of his later stuff.

So very sad. I loved him in A Kick Up The 80s, Laugh, I Nearly..., Tutti Frutti, Cracker, Harry Potter and his cameos in Blackadder, The Young Ones, etc.

He was hilarious as a comedy actor and intense & powerful when taking on serious roles. He truly was a giant of British entertainment for the last 40 years. I know he has suffered ill health so is now at rest. He will be missed and I am glad I got to enjoy his performances.

R.I.P. Robbie.

I remember him playing the bus driver in the still game who had went over the edge, so Jack and victor says to elsa look go up and ask him would he like a blow joby so else says go and chase yourself next minute else goes up to Robbie who's looking angry driving the bus and she says to him "would you stop the bus cause I need a phiss and would you like to watch" has to be one of the funniest things iv ever seen on TV. Robbie was great in that episode as he was in everything he had done in his long career god rest him .thanks for the great memories.

We didn't get Cracker over here, but I'd love to know the context of this scene (is it an interrogation?).

Other than Harry Potter, one film that I liked of his was "Nuns on the Run," which he did with Eric Idle. Robbie Coltrane was very funny, and could have easily had been a Python -- he was that funny. The scene where he is teaching Idle how to do the sign of the cross -- "Spectacles, testicles, wallet and watch" -- is hilarious.
