'Allo 'Allo! star Gorden Kaye dies at 75

Actor Gorden Kaye, who was best known for his role in the long-running BBC sitcom 'Allo 'Allo!, has died aged 75.



The star's former agent confirmed to BBC News he died at a care home on Monday morning.

Kaye played cafe owner Rene Artois on the hit show, which centred on the fictional exploits of resistance fighters in World War Two in German-occupied France.

He appeared in all 84 episodes of the sitcom, as well as a stage version.

His last screen role was in BBC sketch show Revolver in 2004.

He was never the same after the head injury

Such a shame I thought him a great actor better than John Cleese.
