Brian George Wilde (13 June 1927 – 20 March 2008) was an English actor best known for his roles in television comedy, most notably Mr Barrowclough in Porridge and Walter "Foggy" Dewhurst in Last of the Summer Wine. Although tall, his gentle demeanour became his hallmark. His lugubrious world-weary face was a staple of British television for forty years.
