Rob Buckman RIP

[sandyRoe]

Just reading in the Telegraph that he has passed away. Anyone remember his television appearances in the 1980s?

[ladyalex]

I do.

I really enjoyed his programmes.
Was he The Pink Medicine Show ? or am I confsing him with someone else ?

I remember him being very ill very young and bravely making a documentary about his illness before he knew whether he would survive or not.
Sorry he's gone....

[nungate]

I remember him. He was a doctor wasn't he? I did watch him but I only vaguely remember, sad to hear of his passing

[MarkRae]

Yes, The Pink Medicine Show.

"It's me grillocks, doctor - it's me grillocks..."

I remember the name, but looking at his photo, I don't think I do remember him

What a shame, I recall him in "Where there's life there's hope" with Miriam Stoppard.

[bednobs]

he used to have a beard didn't he?

[Robinia]

Oh dear, that's a shame...I remember him, an extremely clever, sensitive and hilariously funny man.

[Nibble]

He'll be missed, he was well thought of in medical circles.

[jno]

yes... I used to do a bit of work with him... his (TV) partner Beetles now runs a gallery
