A good actor, remember him in All Creatures.

Goodness, we were only discussing him within the family the other day. A good actor and a memorable man.

One of the immortals.
Probably the only guy who acted in both Yorkshire thrillers "All Creatures Great and Small" and "Last of the Summer Wine".
Best TV performances Churchill - The Wilderness Years and Dick Carlton in The Spy Who Came In from the Cold. Worst Alex Stewart in the Troubleshooters.

The Stars Look Down.

I'm so sad to read this. :-(

I loved Robert Hardy in all his acting roles, but especially in his Siegfried Farnon role.
I loved All Creatures Great and Small. I watched all the episodes through from the very beginning a couple of years ago.

RIP Robert <3

Rest in peace, Robert, a good age and a great career, with memories left for many people who enjoyed All Creatures and other roles you played

"One of the immortals.

Now I see the mistake Rollo

Hywel Bennett played in Last of the summer wine (2002) whilst Robert Hardy was obviously in All creatures etc....
