Just watched the Fawlty Towers scene again above.The way he pumps himself up and down with a big grin when he says "I do, I do" would bring a smile to your heart. Funny.

Legend, rest in peace.

bodhrandude · 13-02-2012 12:48AM

RIP one of the best.

Only 82? Wtf, a long career ahead of him.

RIP, always seemed to pop up in stuff you'd never expect to see him in.

A legend!

RIP

Who is this dude?

I don't recall seeing him in anything?

Fantastic talent, will be sorely missed.

RIP David Kelly

This thread saddens me. Whitney Houston dies and there's more posts in the thread about her death. David Kelly was a true performer who entertained the masses and didn't do drugs or wasn't photographed looking the worse for wear on a night out. He did his job and was in our livingrooms for many years bringing some lighthearted humour into our lives.

Where will Whitney Houston get buried?

In the ground.

David Kelly's death gets a page in The Sun and a bit of a page in The Mirror while Whitney Houston gets about 6 pages in 1 and 5 in another with a pullout tribute. Sorry to harp on but she was the architect of her own downfall and disappointed her fans with dismal live shows whereas David always thrilled his fans. David deserves more than a half hearted tribute

I'd like to think that Mr. Kelly wouldn't be too worried about how much coverage The Sun and The Mirror gave him.

I was genuinely saddened to hear this news today.

What a great, great actor and absolute gentleman. A credit to our little country.

R.I.P David Kelly.

RIP David, a true great you'll be forever missed. Sad news but he a had a long life.

Jacksquat · 13-02-2012 11:49AM

There's just nothing to say when someone like him goes R.I.P.

What has that got to do with the great David Kelly?

Spacedog · 13-02-2012 01:39PM

RIP David Kelly,

I'll always remember his role in Neil Gaimans 'Stardust' kicking ass as the keeper of the gap in the wall.

I recall the Blizzard of Odd did a segment of him commenting that he was practically 'born old' with old, grainy, black and white archive footage of him not looking a day younger.

He was a great actor and always played the role of the old man with that spark of youth.

Its got nothing to do with kelly. Someone else mentioned Whitney Houston here on this thread and I was curious as to where she was being buried.

Freddie59 · 13-02-2012 01:43PM

A wonderful actor and a credit to Ireland. May he Rest In Peace.

So true, always seemed to be dapper,good humored and kind ,hope he passed peacefully

Had the pleasure of meeting him when he stayed in a hotel I worked in years ago while appearing locally in a play,the name of which escapes me.

Einhard · 15-02-2012 01:38AM

Perhaps I'm imagining this, but I seem to remember him starring in some odd little programme on a Sunday night on RTE about two guys in a signal control room on a railway line. Was possible that it was only a few minutes long. It would have been in the mid 90s. Anyone remember it or am I imagining it completely?

No sigh of it on IMDB.

David Kelly RIP
