Ah, such a upper-middle class crime. If he'd stayed in Glasgow, he'd have been belt buckling fellow inebriates outside the Horseshoe Bar.... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Old Crem 3,164 Posted April 2, 2020 First British notable to die from Cornovirus. Unlucky if he died in or near Bristol as that is the part of the UK with the lowest cases. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Same in the USA but more numerous. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Slackhurst Broadcasting 330 Posted April 2, 2020 78 and fifteen years with a heart transplant. Not bad. Re old time comics, Little and Large, the Two Ronnies, Morecambe and Wise etc. were just trying to get a laugh, which makes them infinitely preferable to all the latter-day comedians whose raison d’etre is to show us how clever they are.

Deathrace 1,092 Posted April 2, 2020 RIP. Quite impressive he made it to 78 as he was never a picture of health even three or four decades ago. Probably would have struggled to make 60 had he been born a generation earlier as was true of many comedians of that era. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
