Citizen Smith & Just Good Friends weren't bad neither. R.I.P

Big loss, Amazing writer and has etched his name into comedy history forever. Sad loss indeed.

Best comedy writer of our generation, did so much more the Fools, remember Just Good Friends anyone? Highest viewed tv show of its time. He'll be sorely missed. And it puts Fools to bed once and for all sadly.

Play it nice and cool son. RIP.

 

[Washboard Didgets]

Very sad.

Genius comedy writer, OFAH is one of the best written comedies of all time. Still watch it occasionally on Gold.

He created characters and situations that not only were comedic but also often very touching and emotional.

RIP

So hard to pick out any highlights as it was always so good,however 'To Hull and back' was just superb. Been looking on Youtube for the clip where Del asks 'which way Holland' truely end of an era.

Thats very sad. I was just watching it now on youtube and flicking back to NSC. What a talent.

 

[Beach Hut]

I am not sure there will ever be as good a comedy series as OFAH - set a very high benchmark.

 

[Basil Fawlty]

RIP John Sullivan. The best writer never to get knighted for his work. OFAH is my all time favourite comedy. Hopefully the six Episodes of Rock and Chips, he said he was working on have been finished. So the BBC can give the go ahead for them!

 

[Goldstone Rapper]

Dear John and Just Good Friends were great, too.
