Yesterday: the death of Trevor Peacock, who was an English actor, screenwriter, and songwriter. He is best known for playing Jim Trott in the BBC comedy series The Vicar of Dibley, alongside Dawn French.
He was born in Tottenham, North London, the son of Alexandria and Victor Peacock. Prior to his acting career he was a teacher for a short time in North London, including a spell at Cuckoo Hall school in Edmonton.
Peacock's many television roles include Jim Trott in The Vicar of Dibley, Rouault in Madame Bovary (opposite Keith Barron), Quilp in The Old Curiosity Shop and Old Bailey in Neverwhere. He appeared in diverse programmes such as EastEnders (playing Sid, a war veteran Alfie Moon met in France), LWT's Wish Me Luck (in which he played resistance leader Renard), Jonathan Creek, Between the Lines, The Riff Raff Element, The Thin Blue Line and My Family.
Peacock was also a songwriter. He wrote the 1960s pop classic "Mrs. Brown, You've Got a Lovely Daughter", which was recorded by Herman's Hermits. Other hit songs to his credit include "Mystery Girl" (recorded by Jess Conrad), "Made You" (Adam Faith), "Gossip Calypso" (Bernard Cribbins), "Stick Around" (Billy Fury), "That's What Love Will Do" and "Nature's Time For Love" (both recorded by Joe Brown).
Peacock wrote the lyrics for a number of hits by The Vernons Girls. The songs include "Be Nice To Him Mama", "You Know What I Mean", "Funny All Over" and "We Love The Beatles". He wrote the lyrics for the musical show, Passion Flower Hotel (music by John Barry), and for a musical based on the popular newspaper cartoon strip, Andy Capp (music by Alan Price). Before his acting career took off, he compered Drumbeat for the BBC and wrote scripts for Oh Boy! and Six-Five Special.
Peacock was married twice. His first marriage was to Iris Jones, from whom he is divorced. His second wife was actress Tilly Tremayne. Peacock has two sons, actors Daniel Peacock and Harry Peacock and two daughters, Sally and Maudie. He lived in the village of East Coker, Somerset and was a supporter of Yeovil Town.
Peacock was diagnosed with dementia in 2009, and it was reported in 2018 that he had advanced dementia, had retired from acting and was living in a nursing home in Yeovil, Somerset. His last role was in the 2015 Vicar of Dibley Comic Relief Special. He died on the morning of 8 March at the age of 89.

Uncle Peter (David Kear) was a favourite from Reeves and Mortimer and epitomised the compulsive anarchism of the show. Tremendous hair too!
