Rip Tim Brooke Taylor

[MontyVeda]

I've always enjoyed his wit and delivery on the Radio4 panel shows in recent years.
Along with Humphrey Lyttleton and Nicholas Parsons, he's a true national treasure.

RIP Tim, another part of my childhood now lost. I went to see both Tim & Graeme Garden years back when they toured theatres with the retrospective Goodies show. I adored this show as a kid, always a talking point in the school playground the morning after the previous nights show. I've got some of the DVD's but all the BBC stuff is out now on a big boxset, ITV series also out.

Yep, they're all 3 buried.


I hope he'd have approved of the gag

Sad day

The Goodies were a huge influence on everyone who grew up in the early 1970's and they are a benchmark for comedy despite being broadcast once, 40 years ago with no repeats.

RIP

He co-wrote the four Yorkshireman sketch as well.

Am gutted. The Goodies made me howl as a kid and ISIHAC made me howl
As an adult.

God-bless you Tim....

Me too mate, really good guy was Tim

 

[Toshiba Boy]

Top man. Like many others, I loved the Goodies as a kid, and ISIHAC as an adult. Extremely talented gentleman.

RIP TBT.

The senior partner was his brother. Used to come across them sometimes at work.

Loved The Goodies, absolutely gutted he has been taken along with many others by this aweful virus

 

[Yellow Fang]

I used to look forward to the Goodies every week. My parents used to let us stay up late to watch it (mind you, it did disappoint more times than not). As an adult, I was surprised to find he was still quite funny, like Graeme Garden, on radio programmes such as Sorry I Haven't Got a Clue.

Sad to hear, fond memories of the Goodies & his wit on the radio

 

[Shut Up Legs]

I watched The Goodies a lot when young. Tim Brooke-Taylor was very talented. I remember such classics as the lighthouse episode, where they're all trapped in a lighthouse, and Tim panicks and starts saying "I'm a teapot!".
