He was brilliant, I've been a fan since his appearances in "The Young Ones" and "Tutti Frutti".Poor Hagrid. Loved Robbie Coltrane, especially in Cracker, (youngsters look it up on YT).
He was one of those unique actors who could do serious or funny and, no matter which, he was bloody good at it.

Having read her biography, I reckon I'd enjoy a night out with her . . . .Miriam Margolyes was on R4 talking about Robbie Coltrane and realised that the chair she was in had just been vacated by Jeremy Hunt.
'When I saw him there I just said "you've got a hell of a job, the best of luck", and what I really wanted to say was "f*** you, you b*****d!" But you can't say that.'
Brilliant.


Straight to the point though.A man of few words.
