    RIP Tim Brooke-Taylor

    Another coronovirus victim, and a wonderfull comic. The Goodies, along with Scooby Doo were the bedrock of my young television viewing. He will be sadly missed.

    Really sad news, me and my younger brother used to ’ecky thump’ each other all the time.
    It drove my parents insane but such goodie memories from my youth.

    Bloody hell, turning into a bit of a bad day. I was another one brought up on The Goodies.

    RIP Tim

    That is very sad news. Went to college with his son for a while many years ago.

    Loved The Goodies.
    RIP.

    Not so much a Goodie Fan, but a huge fan of “Sorry I haven’t a clue” . Always excellent value.

    RIP.

    That's very sad, an intelligent and funny man, another of my generation gone and one that will be missed.

    The Goodies was my first introduction to absurdist humour, and I've never looked back.

    Another genuine British legend lost to us. RIP.

    Another fond memory of my childhood. Strange feeling when the icons of your youth sadly pass away.

    RIP Tim

    Yes RIP T B-T

    Remember a hilarious sketch - they all were - T B-T getting attacked by a killer spider made up from
    the pipes from a set of bagpipes... someone shot the bag I recall.

    Such a shame. A decent innings, but sadly another victim to the current horror. RIP.

    Saw the Clue tour in January and Tim didn't look too well then, but put in a great performance of 'Girlfriend In A Coma' was quick witted though and very funny. We'll miss you Tim. Clue won't be the same without you. RIP Tim

    Computer Operator : Gentlemen, I know how anxious you've all been during these last few days. But now I think I can safely say that your time and money have been well-spent. We're about to witness the greatest miracle of the machine age. Based on the revolutionary Computonian Law of Probability, this machine will tell us the precise location of the 3 remaining golden tickets.

    [he pushes buttons on the machine; the machine prints out a response]

    Computer Operator : It says: "I won't tell. That would be cheating."

    [he pushes the buttons on the machine again]

    Computer Operator : I am now telling the computer that if it will tell me the correct answer, I will gladly share with it the grand prize.

    [the machine prints out another response]

    Computer Operator : He says: "What would a computer do with a lifetime supply of chocolate?"

    [he sighs, then pushes the buttons once again]

    Computer Operator : I am now telling the computer exactly what he can do with the lifetime supply of chocolate.
