Children’s TV star and entertainer Bernard Cribbins has died aged 93, his agent said. The veteran actor starred in the Carry On films, Doctor Who and the 1970 film The Railway Children.
“Bernard’s contribution to British entertainment is without question. He was unique, typifying the best of his generation, and will be greatly missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing and working with him.” He also starred in several Carry On movies and had roles in TV favourites Coronation Street and the revamped Doctor Who. Off-screen Cribbins enjoyed a successful musical career and had a number of hit records including 1962 comedy songs, Hole In The Ground and Right Said Fred, both of which reached the UK singles chart top 10.
In 2011 he received an OBE for services to drama for his long career. Speaking at the investiture ceremony, he said providing the voices of characters such as Uncle Bulgaria, Tobermory and Orinoco was simple because of how The Wombles was written.
