Oh man....
Bummer.
Big memory of growing up was my older brothers crying with laughter at Not the Nine O'clock news.
Personally, I loved the Mel Smith directed movie 'The Tall Guy'. If for no other reason than it contains the best possible thing you can say to your boss as you get fired (as Dexter does in the movie) "I hope all your children have very small dicks! And that includes the girls!"
RIP Mel

Indeed, RIP Mel. He's up there with Ronnie Barker in the genius stakes in my book.

Very sad. He lived just down the road from me. He never did look well whenever I saw him.

I think he's been very ill for a long time which is why he's not been on telly in years.
