Just heard about Tim Brooke-Taylor
Came here to grieve a bit with you all, thought something might have been posted and I had to stick a url up but....fuck. I know he is/was part of the fabric for many of us so, if it's hurting, you're not alone. Not happy. I'm now going to look for something tribute like.

He's been around almost as long as Barry,
TW3 too early for me but one catches up. The Goodies as I grew up, trying to make sense of it and tbf, it hasn't aged too well, having the Goodies annual ( "Oh show me a home where the buffalo roam, and I'll show you house, with a very messy carpet".... I have no idea why that stuck with me but it explains alot).... But obviously, ISIHAC in the later years. Hmmm..... Mornington Crescent: youtu.be/FqLIvLCwxLo
He wasn't the lead man, but he was the straight / wing man that allowed others to take the lighht and and he never tried to steal it.... Modest, generous. I'll shut up, processing in real time.

A lot of the Monty Python TV show hasn’t aged at all well, but nobody seems to want to admit it
The best Goodies episodes are still funny. (As are the best Monty Python episodes)

Saw Tim at the Goodies convention in Australia in 2000
Tim came out for the convention was over Easter also and he was nice enough to turn up on the Friday even though he was not scheduled to appear until the next day. Bill and Graeme appeared via video link back when you had to book in advance for those things and it was expensive to get.
