Sorry to hear this news. He was a good actor. I remember him from All Creatures Great and Small,
One of my all-time favourite series. Without Hardy blowing life into the character of Siegfried Farnon, it would have been just two thirds of the fun (them all three men were so damn well-casted for their parts).

Thanks for the countless smiles and laughter, Sir.

Here's another of Robert, that many does not know-He was an expert on ancient weapons.

Have seen him in some episode of "Ancient Discoveries" Where they take some ancient weapon, such as the Longbow and other old weapon that was used in Old England.

A great actor... should've been in more really big movies. He might have been a good alternative to Peter Cushing in 'Star Wars', for example

[Platapus]

He was also in the movie Torpedo Run (1958)

When the submarine, in the North Pacific, was flooding, one of the crew asked Hardy's character

"Have you ever felt anything this cold?" Hardy replied "Yes... Brighton in August." :up:

I remember that line... that about sums up the sort of character he often played (he was somewhat typecast, I think).
