Fred Elliott RIP

[ClaretTony]

Fred Elliott has died at 86, I say he's died at 86.

[ClaretTony]

One of Corrie's best

[ElectroClaret]

Yes, John Savident 86.
Stalwart of Corrie, of course but starred in many tv and film productions such as Yes, Minister, The Saint, Blake's Seven and even had a part in A Clockwork Orange.

RIP.

Absolutely. The programme currently lacks a big character and Fred was certainly that.

I’m sure I saw him in an old episode of Sharpe the other day.

He was a grand fella, not watched Corrie for many many years, but bumped into him in Manchester and he chatted with no airs or graces, he had a home near the studios next to MOSI Manchester.

Rest in Peace fella, you gave us many laughs.

"I say, I say ASHLEEEEEY"

Funnily enough I was watching Boardwalk Empire earlier and the guy Nucky was wanting on the phone was Fred Elliott!

[Cirrus_Minor]

Very good in the role, brilliant character. Maybe a Scotch and threat is called for. RIP

[Acting Claret]

My first tv job was taking Fred Elliot home in an ambulance after he’d broken his leg on a golf course. When he got home, Maxine was doing a strip tease for Ashley. By ‘eck
