FAMOUS actor Richard Briers and his family put on a one-off show in Pill to raise money for a cancer charity.

The TV veteran, who found fame in shows including The Good Life and Ever Decreasing Circles, performed readings and poetry and talked of his showbiz memories at Penny Brohn Cancer Care, Chapel Pill Lane.

His wife Ann Davies and daughter Lucy Briers performed alongside him around the theme of 'Love and Friendship'.

It is only the second time the family have performed together and the special show drew 80 fans to the charity event and raised more than £2,000 for the cause.

The Briers were very close friends with Christopher Pilkington, the late husband of charity co-founder Pat Pilkington, who passed away in October last year and the family wanted to do something special to pay tribute to him.
