Hinge and Bracket star George Logan has passed away aged 78 as tributes have poured in for the Scots star.
The star, from Rutherglen, was best known for his part in the long-running musical duo, in which he played Dr Evadne Hinge, and his family confirmed the news on Sunday.
Broadcaster and author Gyles Brandreth said Hinge and Bracket was "one of the great joys of my life" as he scripted the TV series and specials of Dear Ladies with Hinge and Bracket, as writes the Mirror.
On Twitter, he wrote: "George Logan was a very funny, very brilliant man - a wonderful musician & a great entertainer. His creation, Dr Evadne Hinge, was beautifully observed & gloriously brought to life with his stage partner Patrick Fyffe as the irrepressible Dame Hilda Bracket. They were such fun!".
Writer Julian Dutton posted: "RIP George Logan, Evadne Hinge of Hinge & Bracket. What a fine act, so redolent of those gentlewomen in Ealing comedies who resided in shabby-genteel hotels.
"With Paul O'Grady and Barry Humphries gone, drag-with-character has lost another wonderful artiste."
Hinge and Bracket's other half, Patrick Fyffe (who played Dame Hilda Bracket), died at the age of 60 in 2002. The duo were known for hosting Dear Ladies on BBC2 and had their own radio show.
The characters Hinge and Bracket were two elderly women who spent their time discussing their careers in classical music. The pair would sing their songs while the former played the piano.
The series Hinge and Bracket was on TV between 1978 and 1981 while Dear Ladies played for a year between 1983 and 1984. George and Patrick launched their own drag routine at the 1974 Edinburgh Festival.
They even performed on two Royal Variety shows and showed up for royalty more than 15 times.

You know, I felt a little bit, oh, all the work I’ve done and finally I’m going to, you know, end up as an ear on a carpet of a plane.”
Louis Staples It was an earthquake that broke the pop-cultural Richter scale: the revelation that “Vanderpump Rules”stars Tom Sandoval and Raquel Leviss were having a secret seven-month affair behind the backs of their closest friends.

Kent was the first cast member to suspect that Sandoval was cheating on Ariana Madix, his girlfriend of nine years. Madix found out herself when she discovered an explicit video on Sandoval’s phone, and, as Variety detailed in a May 17 interview with “Vanderpump Rules” executive producer Alex Baskin, by the time TMZ broke the story on March 3, Bravo’s cameras were already at the Valley Village home she and Sandoval share to capture the fallout. Those astonishing scenes aired during last week’s season finale.
