Ye gods. He has died, aged 56, which has both shocked and stunned me. He was the same age as my belovéd and, although I never found him that amusing, he was part of the soundtrack to a goodly portion of my younger life. Crikey. :shock: DD

    I learned of his death five minutes ago when the hotel wifi kicked in. Our Toni sent me a message.
    Very sad news indeed.

    A relatively big part of my life, too, as No 2 son loved The Young Ones. I thought Alan B'Stard MP was his best creation but then I'm a sucker for political satire.

    Very sad news. We loved The Young Ones, too. Do you remember Dave the Cardboard Box? Surreal, but very funny.

    I loved him too. The New Statesman was excellent, and Bottom, and more recently he brought his special madness to Man Down.
    A sad loss for comedy.
