John Findlay Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Very sad news. Was the master of the forlorn, sardonic look. Master at delivering very dry witty one liners. Was also good in the Bond films he was in. RIP Geoffrey Palmer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobboM Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 There's this from the Fall & Rise of Reginald Perrin. Geoffrey Palmer played Jimmy, Reggie's brother in law IIIRC as a former army guy promoting right wing conspiracy theories. It actually reads as remarkably fresh considering it was 40+ years ago Reggie: So come on, Jimmy, who are you going to fight when this balloon of yours goes up? Jimmy: Forces of anarchy: wreckers of law and order. Communists, Maoists, Trotskyists, neo-Trotskyists, crypto-Trotskyists, union leaders, Communist union leaders, atheists, agnostics, long-haired weirdos, short-haired weirdos, vandals, hooligans, football supporters, namby- pamby probation officers, rapists, papists, papist rapists, foreign surgeons - headshrinkers, who ought to be locked up, Wedgwood Benn, keg bitter, punk rock, glue- sniffers, Play For Today, squatters, Clive Jenkins, Roy Jenkins, Up Jenkins, up everybody's, Chinese restaurants - why do you think Windsor Castle is ringed with Chinese restaurants? Reggie: You realise the sort of people you're going to attract, don't you Jimmy? Thugs, bully-boys, psychopaths, sacked policemen, security guards, sacked security guards, racialists, P***-bashers, queer-bashers, C****-bashers, basher-bashers, anybody-bashers, Rear Admirals, queer Admirals, Vice-Admirals, fascists, neo-fascists, crypto-fascists, loyalists, neo- loyalists, crypto-loyalists.
