What a roll call of credits to  have and some legcy to leave behind and was very modest about it.


RIP Sir.

Yes that's a very impressive list and some of my favourite programmes. The impression I get from a lot of the writers/producers/directors of the day is that they had no idea how good the programmes were and that what they were working on would become all-time classics; maybe they all thought the quality would always be that high? A true golden age of television.

An impressive life and a long one too

A name synonymous with a time when the Beeb produced decent comedy TV... RIP
