Actor Stephen Fry tweeted, “I first met Robbie almost precisely 40 years ago. I simultaneously experienced amazement, dread, and love. We developed our first TV show, “Alfresco,” with such depth, power, and talent that it made people burp and honk helplessly. Goodbye, elderly man. You will be missed.
