[Aperitif]

Gave me a smile whenever I watched him deliver a script!

Shirley you can't be serious!

RIP Leslie, and thanks for the laughs.

Don't forget Forbidden Planet. A derring-do / romantic role long before all the classic comedy.

I hadn't realised that he was now well into his 80's (much the same age as SlugMummy). RIP.

On a brighter note, I hope this means that they show some re-runs of his work!

I remember him most from "Forbidden Planet", the first scary movie I ever watched as a kid.

Excellent special effects for its time. And numerous classic lines...

"Monsters... monsters from the id!"

I also remember Anne Francis in that dress...

As a lifelong Leslie Nielsen fan I am very sad to hear this news. Boo.

Yes, very sad. I introduced a friend to Men With Brooms at the weekend, too.

for me his genius lay in his ability to deliver completely corny comedy in an understated way. There's nothing frantic or in-your-face about it. A one-off.

RIP indeed. So much great work in his career- Police Squad is one of the finest sitcoms ever.
