Aged 92
I always felt he was absolutely born to play the character of George Roper. George and Mildred still makes me laugh when I catch an episode on ITV3

Re: Brian Murphy dies
I used to see him out and about in Bromley 20 years ago. Always looked old and miserable. Maybe that was just his natural look.

Re: Brian Murphy dies
George and Mildred was a spin off from Man about the house I think, went in to be the more popular of the 2 shows.
George was a great character and Brian Murphy was the perfect choice to play him, Murphy was in so many other TV shows as bit part characters in the 70,s and 80,s he seemed to pop up in so many shows.
RIP

Re: Brian Murphy dies
Its a shame. George roper was a great character but 92 is a great innings. There's a this is your life episode on YouTube featuring Brian . He was a Portsmouth supporter as he grew up on the isle of wright. But his son is a huge west ham supporter and it's mentioned on the episode . RIP Brian thanks for the laughs .

Re: Brian Murphy dies
George and Mildred started 50 years ago, he must have only been about 40
.. Good acting, or tough paper round ?
A bit like John Thaw being about 33 in the Sweeney

RIP Brian.
Gave us all a few laughs for many years in many roles. You can't ask for much more than that, really.

Re: Brian Murphy dies
Sad to hear this although I was more surprised at learning that he hadn't died some time ago!
Spent many years in Last Of The Summer Wine apparently which I suppose is why I was unaware that he was still alive.
Anyway, RIP Brian.
