I loved watching these old series, sad to hear of his passing but he reached a great age of 92.
Really funny character in the series and he gave much pleasure to likely millions of viewers.
R.I.P.

Yes the pompus Capt Peacock
in charge of the 1970's shop floor.
He was a great actor.

He was indeed arista.

Ah, that's sad, R.I.P, but at least he had a long, amazing life! :)

That's not a bad age to reach and then die peacefully in his sleep. May he rest in peace. A great, possibly underrated actor.

Agree with Suze , RIP. MR Peacock.
