Just heard in Australia, sad day. Remember my youth with "Not The Nine O'clock News" and a very funny "Morons From Outer Space" a sad loss.

RIP Mr Smith. You gave me many hours of laughter.
I'm not trying to break your heart,
I'm just trying hard not to fall apart

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.
