Biography
Richard David Briers, CBE was an English actor. His fifty-year career encompassed television, stage, film and radio.

SkylArk (1974–76) and when he played Tom Good in the BBC sitcom The Good Life (1975–78), that he became a household name. Later, he starred as Martin in Ever Decreasing Circles (1984–89), and he had a leading role as Hector in Monarch of the Glen (2000–05).
