Satirist John Bird dies aged 86

[Cycleops]

Best known for his collaboration with Rory Bremner and John Fortune in Bremner, Bird and Fortune.
One of my favourite satirists usually playing bumbling politicians.
He also appeared on the BBCs The Late Show with Eleanor Bron and Barry Humphries and as well as on Johnathan Creek.

Bugger. Clever comedy and always bang on point.
