Very sad. I remember Tim primarily from the often hilarious radio show I'm Sorry, I'll Read That Again, broadcast on Sunday evening (if I remember correctly). I and another local lad were faithful listeners in the mid to late '60s. No doubt he's swapping lines right now with his old Cambridge buddy Graham Chapman. R.I.P. both. |

jk, you're obviously intellectual! My memories are of happy times watching The Goodies when young. Thanks, Tim.
Obviously, I didn't want to post this clip below, but thought johnmanning might get upset at Black Pudding Bertha, so....
(Also punishment for AGD who's arguing on another thread  )

Wow, pw. I don't think I've ever been described as intellectual before. Are you sure you don't mean ineffectual?  |

Blimey, I remember that version of WT from when I was a kid – I took it very seriously back then! And Funky Gibbon was one of the very first records I ever bought. Haven’t heard Black Pudding Bertha in ages but who can’t remember every word of the chorus still*? Loved the Goodies to bits as a nipper. And loved ISIHAC. TB-T was one of the nicest funny guys. * I prefer Stornaway black pudding but have been known to eat the Lancashire variety. |

Co-written by Tim, this is a sketch which would become a staple in Monty Python shows in years to come.
Four legends and three quarters of them are now gone. Fuck this filthy disease.

There is a strange Goon Show interlude in which Sellers and Secombe play a couple of Yorkshiremen. It's not the same and the script content (if it was scripted) can't be said to have influenced the script here, and yet... and yet...

I don't remember him the way you guys do, since I didn't grow up with English Television shows in the background.
The "Wild Thing" clip was great!
But I have seen some of it over the years. God bless him, and all the others taken by this horrible virus.
We are losing too many old folks.
