Sorry to hear this news. He will always be remembered as Manuel. Apparently he had been suffering with vascular dementia. RIP Andrew Sachs

RIP Andrew, a terrific foil for Basil's acerbic wit

still the greatest British comedy ever written/acted. Happy

Of course John Cleese was the comic genius behind Fawlty Towers but it wouldn't have been half as funny without Andrew Sach's Manuel. A modest hut very talented man, according to the reports this morning he openly acknowledged that although he only played the part 12 times, it was the role he'd always be remembered for.

RIP Andrew Sachs
