he Welshman also was known for his role on 'Hogan's Heroes,' and he appeared in two Titanic films released 39 years apart. Bernard Fox, the character actor with a European flair who is perhaps best known for playing the womanizing witch doctor Dr. Bombay on the ABC series Bewitched, died Wednesday. He was 89. The Welshman, who portrayed the bumbling Colonel Crittendon on another popular 1960s sitcom, CBS' Hogan's Heroes, died of heart failure at Valley Presbyterian Hospital in Van Nuys, Calif., publicist Harlan Boll announced.

"Dr.Bombay was my favorite Bewitch character."

I liked Marion Lorne as Aunt Clara. I remember her as Mrs. Gurney in "Mister Peepers" with Wally Cox.

This is the weirdest thing. I can’t remember the last time I saw ‘Bewitched,’ but I was flipping channels yesterday and saw about 20 seconds of Tabitha kissing Darren.

The first thing that came to my mind was, “They’re all dead now.”

Strange stuff goes through your mind sometimes...

I remember him from an episode of MASH, where he played a British commander who visited the 4077th and berated his wounded men for lying about like they were on holiday. When Hawkeye chastised him for his callous behavior, he explained that by acting harsh toward his men, he left them no room for self-pity or depression.

He carried off the stuffy yet caring English officer schtick very well.

Back when PRIME TIME was family time on tv, Bewitched, Family Affair, Beverly Hillbillies et al, those were the days.

"That’s right! Passing through town on his bike when Barney pinched him, if memory serves."

The episode where he had to fight Ernest T Bass was a hoot...

Oh yeah - Bass was looking to fight the “Englishster”, I believe. Was a post-Barney Warren episode, a Warren episode is like getting a Shemp when you were expecting a Curly in yer Stooges.
