TheKeysOfMarinus 366 Posted April 19, 2023 I think this might be it. 89 is a dangerous age for an old comic - Max Bygraves, Eric Sykes, Bill Maynard, Warren Mitchell etc 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Old Crem 3,162 Posted April 20, 2023 41 minutes ago, The Daredevil said: Has gone into an unresponsive state Oddly it makes kr sound like a doctor just came in and found him unconscious surprisingly when what actually happened is he just lost consciousness for the last time It all feels a bit too goulish to be get so much updates.

YoungWillz 18,905 Posted April 22, 2023 There will now only be one Less Patterson. Sad news, the only living great drag act of my youth is now Stanley Baxter. Impossible to believe he has gone, a clever man who took generation after generation under his spell with, what can only be described as, limited schtick - but never lost the ability to say something shocking without ever crossing the line of taste. A sad loss, compensated by the points I'll get for my theme team joker. Adieu, Barry, rest well - you earned it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Go over there and let the doctors know they got it wrong then. Sad news, though. An absolute comedy colossus, so naturally hilarious as Barry, as Edna, as whoever he was on any given day. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
