I’m so sad to hear that Michael Gambon has died. He was hugely amusing, and such a tremendous guest, we even named a corner after him.

The funniest actor I’ve ever worked with. My lunch breaks on Dad’s Army were spent wanting to hear story after story from him. A phenomenal actor.

Deeply sad to see this. One of the funniest men on the planet and a great actor. I’ll miss him : Michael Gambon, star of Harry Potter and The Singing Detective, dies aged 82 https://t.co/bpQqSG8Z0j
