We are saddened to hear of the death of 'Brassed Off' actor #PeterMartin.

Peter played one half of duo "Jim & Ernie", the lovable bass-carrying rogues who always sat back of the band and back of the bus.

A well-loved actor with superb comic delivery, Peter had an illustrious career, including #Emmerdale and #TheRoyleFamily.

Members of the band say "In real life Peter was exactly like his character - dry and always ready with a wise crack. He fitted right into the band".

Fondly remembered.

[1998] The Royle Family - Nana spends Sunday afternoon and Jim helps Antony do the dishes to avoid listening to her; Mary and Cheryl drop in to help Denise try on her wedding dress; Dave recovers from a hangover.
