Brian Murphy's acting career began in the 1960s with several theatre and television roles.

He also appeared in other series, such as Last of the Summer Wine, Wizadora, and Benidorm, showcasing his versatility.

His wife, Hi-de-Hi! actress Linda Regan shared an emotional tribute to her husband on social media.
'It is with the greatest of sadness that we have to announce the death of our client actor Brian Murphy,' she prefaced.
'It is almost impossible to describe the depth of his talent and humanity. A truly joyful and profoundly good-hearted man.'
Her words painted a picture of profound love and partnership that transcended the screen and stage.
'My love for you will never die. RIP sweetheart,' she expressed.
'I will love you forever, darling, and all your wishes will be carried out as you wanted. I know we will meet again; until then, I'll hold on to the love we shared for 35 years,' Regan ended her statement.
Tributes from Brian Murphy's fans and colleagues also poured in as they remembered his talent and warmth.
'Allo 'Allo! star Vicki Michelle MBE expressed her sorrow about Murphy's passing.
She described Murphy as a 'great actor and a gorgeous friend'.
Hi-de-Hi! star Jeffrey Holland also remembered Murphy as a 'wonderful actor'.
For those who grew up watching Man About the House and George and Mildred, Brian Murphy's passing marked the end of an era.
Yet, his work will continue to live on, bringing smiles to new generations of viewers.
