Born on the Isle of Wight, Murphy first came to prominence playing landlord George Roper in Man About The House, starring alongside the late Yootha Joyce.
The show began in 1973 and was considered controversial for the time because it featured two single women living with a man.
But when it ended in 1976, Murphy and Joyce starred in the spin-off, George And Mildred, which ran for five series until 1979.
More recently, Murphy appeared in shows like the BBC’s Holby City and ITV’s Benidorm.
