That smiley icon actually looks like the big grin he nearly always had.

I loved the gentle way he had of telling a joke and that broad Yorkshire accent even though I am a Lancashire lass. He was a northerner like us.

Slightly off topic but "Love Thy Neighbour" was a dig at the bigots not a laugh at the brown skinned neighbours. I think programs like that helped to show people how stupid racial prejudice was. I do think that an INdian actor should have been used to play an Indian role in "It Ain't Half Hot Mum" but the character didn't come across to me as thick - more as fooling the Welshman into thinking he was thick which is a different thing entirely.
