OMG

I use to love him to bits - everything he did from Jackanory and Blackadder - put his heart and soul into it.

Never really got over his accident - wonder if it is related

RIP - comedy's great loss

My Lord, I've got every cigarette card they ever printed of you. My whole family took up smoking just so that we could get the whole set. My grandmother smoked herself to death so we could afford the album
RIP!

Lord Flashheart in Blackadder was awesome !!

'So I flew straight through her bedroom window, popped the box of chocs on the dressing table, machine gunned my phone number into the wall and then shot off and shagged her sister... '
