RIP Windsor Davies
Very sad to hear that Windsor Davies had passed away at the age of 88, just 4 months after his wife. Best remembered for his roles in It Ain't Half Hot, Mum in the 70s and Never the Twain in the 80s, both successful and long-running. He also starred in several of the latter Carry Ons. A natural as a military and police figure, he was a familiar face on British TV for decades. RIP. -
Re: RIP Windsor Davies
I recall as a chikd watching It ain't half hot mum.
I loved the show, but I doubt it woukd be shiwn on terrestrial tv as it had homophobic issues.Comment

Re: RIP Windsor Davies
Sad news. I'm too young to remember It Ain't Half Hot but his voice was well suited for Zero in Terrahawks.The Trickster On The RoofComment

Re: RIP Windsor Davies
Ah, yes, I had forgotten about his contribution to Terrahawks. Zero's verbal sparring with Dix-Huit was a delight.
Agreed, no chance of It Ain't Half Hot, Mum being shown on terrestrial again, but I think it was shown into the 90s as I remember my wife watching it and laughing--she hadn't seen it before.Comment

Re: RIP Windsor Davies
I thought he was a lovely (and very funny) Sgt. in It Ain't Half Hot Mum. A sad end.

Re: RIP Windsor Davies
A great comedy actor - amazing to think that he got a number one hit in 1975!
It's a pity that It Ain't Half Hot Mum overshadowed Never the Twain as it was a good series.
Last week wasn't a very good week for anyone called Windsor or Mountbatten...I've everything I need to keep me satisfied
There's nothing you can do to make me change my mind
I'm having so much fun
My lucky number's one
