Trevor Peacock, star of The Vicar of Dibley, dies aged 89
Trevor Peacock played Jim Trott in the beloved sitcom.
Actor Trevor Peacock, who famously starred alongside Dawn French in The Vicar of Dibley, has died aged 89, his agent has confirmed.
A statement on behalf of the family, obtained by Metro, said: "Trevor Peacock, actor, writer and song-writer, died aged 89 on the morning of March 8th from a dementia-related illness.
Peacock played Jim Trott in The Vicar of Dibley, one of the village's most notable residents. The beloved character's famous catchphrase was the repetition of "no, no, no, no", which would often get him and Geraldine (French) into all sorts of trouble.
After the news of his passing broke, French took to Twitter to pay tribute to her co-star.
"Night Trev. I love you," she posted, alongside a picture of the pair.
