yeh im v.sad. my dad and i were big fans and have his videos. one of the v.few of the older generation of comics who was geniunely funny by modern day standards. although sadly always overlooked in these silly "polls" etc when remembering great comedians.
also, anyone who broke boundaries with sex and religion etc in comedy has got to be worth remembering and ill never forget that "bemused" expression he did with his face...like a little boys face.
R.I.P
