Picture

Just added a not-very-good shot I took of Briers at a Who convention a couple of years ago. I'd welcome someone else replacing this with a better-quality and suitably free image, but at least it's a start! Gusworld (talk) 00:18, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, its nice to have a photo on the article at last! I've changed the caption, as I feel that any non-Doctor Who fans might wonder what an "Invasion conference" is.--UpDown (talk) 08:20, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Brass Eye

No reference to the "invisible lead soup"? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.222.214.63 (talk) 16:40, 24 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

[1] Quite agree. Certainly needed. Martinevans123 (talk) 00:12, 19 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This article is a mess

I've started going through his IMDB to find some more noteworthy titles that this article has obviously overlooked (Henry V and Much Ado About Nothing come to mind), but I think this article needs a lot more work from someone more familiar with Richard Briers' career.

It says that Lorriane Drake played Barbara Good in The Good Life - it was Felicity Kendall! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 61.149.245.5 (talk) 04:13, 29 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Radio

No mention of his radio shows in the 50s or maybe early 60s? I can remember one vaguely, connected with one-upmanship I think. Robotics1 (talk) 20:08, 18 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Second cousin?

Terry Thomas is Richard Brier's father cousin, so they are first cousins at one remove, not second cousins. 195.194.187.132 (talk) 13:06, 4 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
