Last of the Summer Wine and Porridge actor Brian Wilde has died aged 80.
Wilde played Foggy in the long-running comedy series Last of The Summer Wine and Barraclough in prison sitcom Porridge, alongside Ronnie Barker.
Wilde died in his sleep on Thursday. Last of the Summer Wine creator Roy Clarke said he was "a wonderful actor".
His agent Nick Young said: "He will be sadly missed by colleagues and family alike. He brought a great deal of laughter into many people's lives."
Wilde's son Andrew told the Press Association news agency his father suffered a fall about seven weeks ago and had not recovered.
Wilde's Last of the Summer Wine co-star Peter Sallis led the tributes, saying: "He was great fun to be with and to work with, so I'm very, very sorry to hear the news."

I will mostly remember Brian for providing the voice of an animated owl in the 1979 public information film 'Play Safe' that I saw on YouTube. There was also an animated robin that was voiced by Bernard Cribbins.
