RIP

 

[Brian Fantana]

Very sad news. No age at all. The article thanks a care home - I wonder why he would have been in there at such a young age.

No way. That's sad. He nailed the part of Keith.

Stole several scenes in The Office with his deadpan delivery.

RIP

A lovely fella. Big football fan.

I asked him to DJ my birthday party a few years back after we finished The Bromley Boys.

He turned up and did the whole thing in Big Keith at the office party mode.

What a top, top bloke.

His comic timing in this scene is just amazing.

NOT. YOUR MINGE.

More scotch egg action here. Genius casting, of both parts.

Someone said on Twitter.

It's incredibly hard to steal a scene with understatement.

Agreed.

In the unlikely event anyone is remotely interested.
The last time I presented that very same attitude, I was promoted at the end of discussion.

I just couldn't get out of it.

A former member of my team at work was as big a fan of The Office as I am, so every time I did his annual appraisal, we'd end up bringing up that scene with Keith and Brent.

Mind you, I also used to ring him and say "How is Elaine, she left you yet", and then his actual wife did leave him, so I left it a couple of weeks before chucking that one in again.
