Not old, but evergreen

Another familiar figure - Roger Lloyd-Pack - passes into the great beyond and at just 69.  The tributes sing his praises in Only Fools and Horses, The Vicar of Dibley and Harry Potter.  Indeed, he left an impression in these, especially the first one.  Not so many talk of his lead role in the BBC sitcom The Old Guys with Clive Swift (from Keeping Up Appearances).  It wasn't particularly funny from what I saw of it, to the extent where I made the effort of switching over to another channel.  I'm surprised two series were made (a Blackadder transformation it seems was not effected).  However, I do remember the useful advice of never making a tomato sandwich in a toasted sandwich maker.  The water in the tomatoes boils as Swift's persona explains though as Lloyd-Pack's character said as he scalds his mouth, "But it's so tasty!"  Even on paper it's not amusing, yet it stays in my mind through the perfectly calibrated expressiveness of Lloyd-Pack's acting.
