The veteran actor spent eight decades in the spotlight and became well known for his suggestive catchphrases which included “Ding dong”, “Well, hello” and “I say!”.
Phillips died “peacefully in his sleep on Monday”, his agent Jonathan Lloyd confirmed yesterday.
Although he became known for his plummy accent and exaggerated portrayals of the English upper-class, Phillips was born in Tottenham, north London, speaking estuary English.
