Glynis Johns, who sang Send in the Clowns and Sister Suffragette on Mary Poppins, dies aged 100 - AB...

 

I particularly loved her as a mermaid in the film Miranda, when I was small.

 

RIP Glynis

A sad one, but not unexpected given his age.

 

I first heard of Bob when he released his first album (as comedians do!) in 1966, and I remember laughing so hard at the time, and all the years in between up to his appearances on The Big Bang Theory.

 

He influenced my humour from a tender age ( there's a giveaway.)

 

If you have the patience, the clip goes for approx. 8 minutes.

RIP Bob, you will be missed  ❤️

I loved him as Professor Proton in TBBT.

He played the role with a uniqueness that nobody could have matched,

Very sad.

 

RIP

Thank you Stawks - patience wasn't needed - funny as.

 

RIP Bob.

I’m another Professor Proton fan. No one but Bob Newhart could have played that role with all of that sense of reluctant mildness and wonderful strangeness. I loved that Will Wheaton became the reboot version, and how that enraged Sheldon… and then Sheldon dream-encountered Professor Proton whose slightly irascible deadpan comments somehow gave him comfort…

 

Professor Proton asked Sheldon “Do you know what rest in peace means?” … May he truly have that peace now. Farewell, Arthur, farewell, Bob.
