Acht, buggers !

A legend.

The Goodies were massive when I was a kid.

More bad news.

RiP.

Not turning out to be the best of days, Sir Stirling and now Tim

[Halmyre]

Oh dammit. Not Brooke Tim Taylor (rearrange in correct order).

I shall put a recording of Land of Hope and Glory on a portable wind-up gramophone and run up a Union Jack.

Sad news. Only saw him in the ISIHAC touring show back in February!

Does anyone else remember him before The Goodies on BBC radio's I'm Sorry I'll Read That Again? I thought The Goodies was a disappointment after that.

Farewell Lady Constance de Coverlet.

Yup. Still appears on Radio 4 Extra from time to time.

The Goodies was my first ever favourite programme as a child. I remember being allowed to stay up to watch it because I would be in fits of laughter. I only vaguely remember, but my parents say they got more enjoyment out of me laughing than they did of the programme.
Whenever a trip of nostalgia takes me back, I always remember The Goodies with fondness.

R.I.P. Tim Brooke Taylor.

Me too. I’ll be giving TB-T a blast on the “issued” Kazoo at 8pm tonight.

I’m more upset about this than I’d have expected to be. Him dying, I mean, not the thought of me Kazooing for him.

[hiccy18]

Definitely gutted, huge fan and thought both him and Graham Garden are unsung heroes of comedy. ISIHAC is often far funnier than anything on the gogglebox.

Looks like I'll be raising the glass twice tonight.

RIP

No it says "With" not "Of". This means he could have died of a heart attack or cancer or anything, but that he tested +ve (ignoring the accuracy of the tests it seems).

RIP Tim.
