It is with sadness that I write to inform you that actor David Nunn, who appeared in three episodes of The Black Adder and for me is most fondly remembered as the fat orphan in Blackadder’s Christmas Carol, passed away earlier this week; he was aged 49.

His friend, Robert Taylor who contacted me, said “Dave was a friend of mine and a lovely man and will be missed by all”.

My thoughts and condolences to family, friends and those that knew him.
