Brian Murphy: Man About the House actor dies aged 92
Born on the Isle of Wight in 1932, Murphy’s acting career began in the 1950s when he became a member of the pioneering Theatre Workshop.
Founded by Joan Littlewood and her partner Gerry Raffles, it was dedicated to modernising theatre and reaching working-class audiences.
Murphy performed in many Shakespeare productions directed by Littlewood, and acted in her only feature film, the kitchen sink comedy Sparrows Can’t Sing.
He was best known for his role in Man About the House, an ITV sitcom exploring the dynamics of one man and two women flat-sharing in the 1970s.
He went on to star in the spin-off George and Mildred, in which Murphy played a henpecked George Roper opposite fellow Theatre Workshop actress Yootha Joyce as his wife.
He is survived by his wife, Hi-de-Hi! actress Linda Regan, and his two sons.
Ms Regan said: “I was lucky to have in my lifetime found my soulmate. Brian who I will love forever.”
