Barry Gosney RIP

BARRY GOSNEY Died Jan. 23, 2008

British comedic actor Barry Gosney died of injuries sustained in a fall at age 81. Mr. Gosney appeared in dozens of films and TV shows during his career. His credits include the Robert Mitchum version of "The Big Sleep," "Dixon of Dock Green," "Z Cars," "Keeping Up Appearances," "Are You Being Served?," "Don't Just Lie There, Say Something!" and several films in the "Up the…" film series.

No mention of Time Gentlemen Please which to my mind made him a star.

Indeed, indeed. Only thing I could identify him from.

The dirty bar-steward.

Wasn't he also the Joy of Sex man in Harry Hill's early shows?

*shrug* Google might know.

Sorry Dave. I have no idea who he was. He is more your age group eh!
I will google him just so that I am informed.

PS Dave.

No, he didn't play that character.

He WAS in Harry Hill's shows though as himself and used to introduce a lot of episodes and appear in some songs and sketches.
