sonyc 5,518 Posted April 6, 2021 As a fan of Friday Night Dinner, I was upset and saddened to read of his death on Monday. Only 54 years old . Always enjoyed his character, Martin but notable for a great performance in Chernobyl too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
king canary 7,606 Posted April 6, 2021 Oh wow that is really sad. He's so funny in Friday Night Dinner, easily the best character in a show full of great characters. As Martin would have said '**** on it!' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dj11 377 Posted April 6, 2021 That is a real shame, he was a great actor, and his role in Friday Night Dinner, never failed to make me laugh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Greavsy 2,413 Posted April 6, 2021 That is sad - He was very funny in FND, agreed. "Lovely bit of squirrel!" is often repeated at the meal table here. alas a lack of 'females' though 54 is far to young. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mello Yello 2,293 Posted April 6, 2021 So sad to hear of his passing. Paul Ritter first came to my notice as Billy the dry, sarcastic and acerbic Autopsy man in the early episodes of 'Vera' with Brenda Blethyn.....A fine actor who appeared in many and varied productions......Friday Night Dinner just won't be the same.....Rip Mr Ritter......
