Andrew Sachs, Manuel from Fawlty Towers, dies aged 86.

Loved him in Fawlty Towers.

Not much on super 8mm Revenge of the Pink Panther was the only one I could find optical sound which is in my collection.

Speaking to BBC Radio 4’s Today programme Cleese said: “If you met him you would never think for a moment that he was a comedian, you would think he was a rather cultivated bank manager possibly retired, because he was quite quiet and poised and thoughtful. And then you stuck that moustache on him and he turned into a completely different human being. He was wonderful.”

I' fully agree with his comments too. Manuel was Andrews part which he played to perfection.

R.I.P.

At least he was not from Barcelona. Great character

What a great character this actor produced.

I thought it was sad & irritating that the BBC had to even mention that prick Russel Brand who did that dirty trick on him with the other idiot J Ross.Both should have been sacked and never been allowed on British TV again for belittling such a respected actor.

Andrew Sachs was a brilliant actor and he also narrated a lot of wildlife programmes in the 80s, (& i think the early 90s).
