Geoffrey Hughes. Onslow often stole the show on "Keeping Up Appearances" whenever he appears and was a great foil of sorts for Hyacinth. Never knew he was on "Coronation Street" too which has become a guilty pleasure favourite of mine these days.

Good night GEOFFREY, as long as people watch "Keeping Up Appearances" they will be laughing at your wonderful performances. |
