Mel Smith R.I.P.

Post by tuktukmike »

Really sad to hear of the death of Mel Smith.

Famous for not the nine o'clock news and of course alas smith and jones.

Seems he and griff rhys jones also started top hat productions who were responsible for programmes like ali g and a host of others.

He will be sadly missed, a comic genius.

That is sad.

Happy memories of Alas Smith & Jones and Not the Nine o'Clock News (which the kids recently discovered on You Tube).

He was a fine comedian and a very warm person. Loved his shows. There are still reruns around. R.I.P.

DM - I have never seen that "funeral" sketch before, it made me laugh out loud.

RIP Mel Smith.
The world has lost a great comedian.
