I have just discovered that 'lovable cockney' Arthur Mullard was an evil bastard, guilty of extreme violence against his family & sexual abuse of his daughter from when she was 13. The sexual abuse was the reason his wife gave for her suicide, according to the daughter.
And he added insult to injury by leaving his children (including the abused daughter, who nursed him in his decrepitude) very small sums, most of his estate being left to a charity.
