Richard Beckinsale was a beloved English actor known for his warmth and charm, which he brought to his roles in some of Britain's most popular sitcoms during the 1970s. Born in 1947 in Nottingham, he gained widespread acclaim for his performances as the naive yet endearing Lennie Godber in Porridge and the well-meaning medical student Alan Moore in Rising Damp. His ability to convey vulnerability and gentle humour made him a favourite with audiences.
Richard Beckinsale's career was marked by both his exceptional talent and his genuine, down-to-earth personality, which endeared him to colleagues and fans alike. An interesting story that highlights his character occurred during the filming of Rising Damp. Beckinsale, who played the loveable Alan Moore, was known for his easygoing nature and quick wit on set. One day, when the cast and crew were struggling through a particularly challenging scene, Beckinsale lightened the mood by unexpectedly delivering his lines in a variety of exaggerated accents. His playful improvisation not only brought laughter to the set but also helped to ease the tension, reminding everyone of the joy in their work.
This sense of humour and camaraderie extended beyond the screen. Beckinsale was close friends with many of his co-stars, including Ronnie Barker, who played alongside him in Porridge. Barker often spoke fondly of Beckinsale, recalling how his young co-star’s natural comedic timing and warm presence had a positive impact on everyone he worked with. In fact, Beckinsale's role as Lennie Godber was originally written as a more serious character, but his light-hearted approach influenced the writers to inject more humour into the part, making it one of the most memorable in British television history.
Despite his rising fame, Beckinsale remained humble and approachable, frequently engaging with fans and taking time to respond to letters. His unexpected death in 1979 was not only a loss to the entertainment industry but also to those who had come to admire him as both an actor and a person. The outpouring of grief from the public and his colleagues was immense, a testament to the impact he had in his short but brilliant career.
