RIP Eric, a comedy legend, there are not many of that era left nowadays and comedy now is not much cop.

I've always prefered the older comedies from the 60/ 70's to say the 80's. BBC used to make such great comedies but I don't think they do anymore which is a shame. Big fan of the 2 ronnies. So I think you can guess the style of comedy I like.

Just started watching Sykes on dvd again the other day, I have the 1972 first colour season on dvd, hope they will release the rest of them now!

Classic Eric Sykes joke "I had lunch with a chess champion the other day. I knew he was a chess champion because it took him 20 minutes to pass the salt"
