Tony Dow, Only Fools and Horses director, dies aged 77

Tony Dow, the American child actor who went on to direct 24 episodes of the British sitcom Only Fools and Horses, has died aged 77. Although well known as Wally Cleaver on the US sitcom Leave It to Beaver in his younger days, he came to Britain and directed some of the best loved shows of Only Fools, including Yuppy Love, containing the bar-flap incident voted the country's favourite comedy moment. His death was confirmed by Frank Bilotta, who represented Dow in his work as a sculptor, in an email to the Associated Press.
No cause of death was given, but it was known that Dow had been in a hospice having been diagnosed with prostate and gall bladder cancer. A post on Dow’s Facebook page on Tuesday prematurely reported that he had died, but his wife and management team later took down the post, explaining it was an error. Across the Atlantic Dow’s Wally helped to create the image of the typical American teenager of the 1950s and 60s, an often annoyed but essentially loving big brother who was constantly bailing out the title character, Theodore “Beaver” Cleaver, played by Jerry Mathers, on a show synonymous with the wholesome image of an American 1950s family.
Dow would play the part for six series and more than 200 episodes from 1957 to 1963 on primetime on CBS and ABC, then for more than 100 episodes in the 1980s in a sequel. “Tony was not only my brother on TV, but in many ways in life as well. He leaves an empty place in my heart that won’t be filled,” Mathers said in a Facebook post on Wednesday.
