Filmography

I would like to see an expanded Filmography and some career highlights included in this article. - MGM 08:58, May 11, 2004 (UTC)

Dead Ernest

Am I correct in thinking that following Fawlty Towers Sachs played the character of Ernest in a programme called "Dead Ernest" about a man who dies before his time and ends up in a bureaucratic "heaven"? (Trevsy (talk) 20:26, 29 October 2008 (UTC))[reply]

Dead Ernest would appear to agree. Parrot of Doom (talk) 14:56, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I came here for a similar reason, trying to think of the name of that sitcom. Has it been deliberately omitted from the main page? I would have added it, but it does say "Selected" filmography. Periglio (talk) 08:37, 20 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Audiobooks

He is presently doing the audiobook version of Alexander McCall Smith's serial novel Corduroy Mansions, and I was thinking of adding that to the article. However, if by chance he's done dozens or hundreds of audiobooks — as some actors do — then a section on his audiobook career would probably be more appropriate than mention of his latest audiobook, as if we were promoting it. Do others know of a source we could consult to see if he has done tons of audiobooks, only a few, or none before this one? Lawikitejana (talk) 07:00, 1 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

He's been doing audiobooks a long time as this article [1] suggests. Also, doing a search on Andrew Sachs within Amazon.co.uk brings back 100's of results if which most are Audiobooks --91.106.22.185 (talk) 23:20, 9 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A Phonecall

Surely not more than a sentence is required for such a trivial media invention, that it is a bigger section than his personal life seems sadly insulting - User:Anonnymouse 01:11, January 11, 2008 (UTC)

William Sachs

... is listed as one of his children. Following the link takes one to a page about an American film director with the name William Sachs who seemed to be working in the 1970's. Something about that fact does not compute... perhaps the William Sachs in question is no relation? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.45.182.9 (talk) 13:13, 2 December 2016‎

You're right, it seems unlikely, so I've unlinked the name. If there is shown to be a connection, the link can be restored. Ghmyrtle (talk) 14:13, 2 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
