SUAVE actor Peter Bowles was Britain’s favourite toff – despite being the son of servants and growing up in modest circumstances. Peter, who died yesterday of cancer aged 85, shot to stardom as nouveau riche supermarket owner Richard DeVere in BBC sitcom To The Manor Born from 1979 to 1981.

Thereafter, he appeared sporadically on the West End stage as an authentic leading player, and initiated, often as a co-deviser, or “original idea” supplier, a string of major television serials including Only When I Laugh (1979-82), in which he starred with James Bolam and Christopher Strauli as one of three troublesome hospital patients under the supervision of Richard Wilson’s irascible doctor; The Irish RM (1983-85), in which he played a tetchily disposed army major serving as a resident magistrate in Northern Ireland (“Bowles Saves Channel 4” ran one headline after it opened to rave reviews and large viewing figures); and Perfect Scoundrels (1990-92), with Bowles and Bryan Murray playing likable conmen, latter-day Robin Hoods choosing only deserving victims.
