For fans of the Brit Sit Com 'Keeping up Appearances', Clive Swift (Richard Bucket) has died

This was one of my late mother's all time favorite shows. I used to sit and watch it, with her. It was as much fun watching her, as it was watching the show. She really took such joy in the humor.

Clive was one of those actors who, when he popped up in a movie I was watching, well, I'd always smile.

RIP. Such a familiar face. Wasn't he in Frenzy too, as the friend/husband?

According to his IMDB page, he was working, right up to 2017.

and I sat there laughing right along with them.

He was a wonderful actor. And he will truly be missed.
