"Do you wanna write for the Boosh" best moment

that is absolute love of Bernard

[@619ck154]

I would pay so much money to have a Boosh special with Bernard

[@YOUANDME527]

It would actually make it funny

Bernard Cribbins is the Grandad everyone wishes they had. 😁

[@seancampbell7884]

Rest in peace

May he be at eternal peace. A wonderful man and great actor/ narrator.

Most definately! RIP Bernard, you will be sorely missed.

You're not wrong. I never met the man but I miss him.

Heard the terrible news and came straight here. Bernard is so sharp and funny, and this is what I want to spend the day doing, watching and remembering what an amazing person he was.

[@harryhill783]

Joyful person isn’t he! I’ll never forget him in Doctor Who! He did so much great stuff though! The Wombles were a major part of my childhood!

[@rawyld]

Yeah I still cannot believe it

[@CallumRSU30]

By chance, I happened to get suggested this yesterday and didn't thing much of it...and then came to know about the news this morning..!

It gets me every time; he was so sharp. An absolute treasure, and we are fortunate to have shared a time with him. RIP Bernard.

Noel Fielding being flabbergasted by Bernard Cribbens is my favorite thing ever.

[@petersyme7083]

Just amazing how Phil Jupitus and Noel Fielding are in complete awe of Bernard Cribbins comedic brilliance. They, like all of us grew up with Bernard Cribbins throughout our childhood and continuing into adulthood. What a brilliant, talented man. R. I. P

[@dannjp75]

Devastated.. he was like the grandfather I never had, genuinely in tears.. was lucky enough to meet him many years ago. Rest in peace Bernard, what a terrible loss for us all..🥺🥺

I have never seen more genuine love between a group of people than David, Catheirne and Bernard.

[@derrickknight4985]

The word legend is used to describe many people but very few are. Mr Cribbins most certainly was. Gave us many years of his talent. He will be missed but never forgotten.

[@bennylloyd-willner9667]

Had the honour of meeting Bernard recently at a comic con. He's a complete legend. I grew up on his songs and he was one of the main reasons I fell in love with comedy. Was nearly in tears when I sat beside him :)

[@andym28]

Devastated to hear about Cribbins’ passing this morning. RIP Bernard, you will never be forgotten. Mostly because I revisit this several times a month to make myself laugh.

[@petersyme7083]

Just a reminder what a talented actor, comedian he was, come on, and, in a pleasant manner, just took over the show. Bernard was a constant delight to many generations of children and adults. R.I.P

"Kylie's favorite bra fetched a staggering six thousand pounds on eBay." "Do you wanna see it?" My absolute favorite line.

This was the best episode of Buzzcocks ever. Tennant, Tate and Cribbins FTW.

[@MsGrandunion]

I don't think its possible to grow up in the UK without having a fond memory of Bernard Cribbins. Whether it was his character in The Railway Children, one of his many stories on Jackanory, or some other show, everyone "met" him at some point, and wishes they had a grandad like him. Rest in peace Sir, and thank you for being part of our childhood.

[@iwasglad122]

A life well and honourably lived. Mr Cribbins, I say with a full heart, 'Thank you.'

[@jherrenor]

I like how uncomfortable comedians and hosts get when unexpectedly funny guests completely outshine them.

[@ConnorEllisMusic]

Bernard Cribbins is a comedian, actor, writer and musician. Of course he's going to be funnier.

[@andyt2k]

They're not uncomfortable, they're loving it

[@minicle426]

Most of these people grew up with Bernard. So it's partial starstruck.

[@peterowen9183]

A legend who's woven into the childhood of anyone who watched TV growing up in the 60s, 70s or 80s. A long life, well-lived, which brought enjoyment and laughter to millions. RIP sir - you were loved.

[@craigfoulkes]

Don't forget today's children too. My 13 year old daughter came to me yesterday because the man from old jack's boat had died. What a great man.

Whether you went to the cinema to watch dr who dalek invasion earth in 66 or many child shows in the 70s 80s and odd bits in the 90s or watching dr who in 2008/9 he was definitely in some way in your life. And unlike most of the other celebrities of his day. He didnt touch you physically. Just with that warm charisma he had. Such a snappy man. A true legend

Thankyou for being a big part , with some of your colleagues as well, for getting me through some bad times. Say hello to gunner Miligan for me when you see him.

Mr Cribbins should've had a knighthood decades ago. The way knighthoods are scattered around all and sundry nowadays, it's a national scandel that he didn't get one. One of our most cherished character actors ans seemingly just a lovely man. He befriended The Railway Children ... and at the same time he befriended us all. RIP Bernard

[@sophiecole1089]

He was *mistaken* to be a hotel inspector. Mr Faulty heard news that there were hotel inspectors in town, and somewhere along the line he gets the idea that Bernard Cribbin's character was one of them.

bernard was simply the most loved guy in the country.he was a jack of all trades excellent and sucessful in all of them comic pop singer actor both comic and serious and everything in between.yet thats only half the story he had from his early appearences on film with peter sellars an absolutely special qaulity a personality that came through the screen of genuine unforced likeability.whenever he appeared we loved him.he was genius casting as perks in the railway children which if nothing else secured his legacy for future generations of children.his appearence in dr who changed the template of the show due to his wonderful will mott the producers realised that the show needed more fatherly figures like him rather than more screaming yoof hence bradley walsh and john bishop.he appealed to all but his special place is with children.his novelty songs were a mainstay of my youth on saturday morning junior choice.he did famously the wombles but he was at his best just sitting telling stories to kids on his record breaking appearences on jackanory.the gap he has left is immense simply because his death affects so many he really was that rarity a star who was exactly what it said on the box as nice offstage as on and genuinely loved.

[@thejellies5192]
