David Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Actor Roger Lloyd-Pack, who played Trigger in Only Fools And Horses, has died aged 69, according to his agent. He was best known for his role in the long-running hit comedy series alongside David Jason as the dopey road-sweeper. His agent, Maureen Vincent, said he had pancreatic cancer and had "died at home surrounded by his family". Mr Lloyd-Pack appeared in dozens of films and TV shows including a regular role as farmer Owen Newitt in The Vicar Of Dibley. He was also in Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, and Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Only Fools And Horses is due to return for a special one-off episode for Sport Relief in March. It is believed the script has been written but it is not known if filming has begun. The episode was due to feature Mr Lloyd-Pack. Father Ted creator Graham Linehan was among those paying tribute online. He said: "Very sad news about Roger Lloyd Pack. Trigger was an ancestor to Father Dougal and I'm glad I once had a chance to tell him so." Mr Lloyd-Pack was born in 1944 into an acting family in north London, and his father Charles was a regular in Hammer horror films.http://news.sky.com/story/1196137/trigger-of-only-fools-and-horses-has-died Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostyn6 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 RIP Trigger. Undoubtedly part of some of the funniest scenes in the history of television. First that springs to mind, when Trigg wins a council award for cost-saving, having the same broom for so many years... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uttoxram75 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Just been a story on radio 5 about him. He lived in Kentish Town in North London and was often seen riding round on his bike. He once got so peed off at folk shouting "trigger" at him that he shot through a red light to get away from them. He was stopped by a copper who said "a up, its trigger!"!

StaffsRam Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Very sad news indeed. Will always remember him primarily for OFAH, but his other work was just as good, including The Vicar of Dibley. RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ossieram Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 RIP Roger. Brilliant actor who had me in stitches loads of times as Trigger. The writing was brilliant, But the way he delivered it made it funnier than ever. "They're naming the baby Rodney, After Dave" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
