Was only watching my NTNOCN DVD's last night, very sad to hear of his passing. Rest in Peace, Mr. Smith I'll always remember you as the voice of Father 'bloomin' Christmas, too. Sad news!
Ew! I'm sweating like Roger Ebert!

A real loss, he was a genuine comedy genius. He was brilliant in Alas Smith and Jones, Wilt, and Not the Nine O'clock News, and hopefully the BBC will start showing Alas Smith and Jones as a tribute.

Would be nice is the BBC decided to show his much underrated sitcom "colins sandwich" as a tribute? But I kind of doubt that!

I worked for Mel / Talkback for about a year in the early eighties. My first encounter (as an employee) was probably the oddest I've ever had, in good way.
I remember driving his Rolls, through Hyde Park and ending up in the midst of a protest march of striking nurses. They were scowling at this mid twenties guy driving a Rolls, until I grabbed a flyer and put it in the windshield, smiles, thumbs up, and the odd cheer from then on.
My recollection of Mel is that he was a warm, generous man, with hands as soft as his heart.
Gods speed Mel.
