The Northstander said:Four Candles was the best Ever Sketch and example of comedy Writing to date, but agree that Corbett carried it off perfectly, watching even now I piss m'self!!
Fully concur. A sad loss.

And here is the latest news:
A prison van and a concrete mixer have collided on the M6. Police are still looking for a number of hardened criminals.
or
A break in at New Scotland Yard today has resulted in all the toilets being stolen.
Police admit they have nothing to go on.

His stuff with david Frost in the Frost report was just genious
I think Open All Hours was very clever and brought us the talent of another comedy genious David Jason ( although he is just a brilliant actor full . )
Also his sketch with John Cleese, and Ronie Corbett
RB " I look up to him, because he is upper class and down on him because he is lower class"
RC " I Know my place.."
Classic
It seems the really good ones are all but gone..
Spike, Ronnie B, Bob Monkhouse, Les Dawson even the great Benny Hill, Eric and Earnie
I also didn't think he looked at all well in the last Two Ronnies shows.
The song and dance routines were also classic
" And its goodnight from him"

Good evening. I am the president of the Loyal Society for the Relief of Suffers from Pismronunciation, for the relief of people who can't say their worms correctly, or who use the wrong worms entirely, so that other people cannot underhand a bird they are spraying. It's just that you open your mouse, and the worms come turbling out in wuck a say that you dick not what you're thugging to be, and it's very distressing.
"I'm always looing it, and it makes one feel umbumftorcacle, especially when one is going about one's diddly tasks. Slopping at the Sloopermarket, for instance. Only last wonk, I approached the chuckout point, and I shooed the ghoul behind the crash desk the contents of my trilly, and she said 'All right, granddad, shout 'em out.' Well, of course, that's fine for the ordinary man in the stoat who has no dribble with his wolds. For someone like myself, it's worse than a kick in the jackstrop.
"Sometimes, you get stuck on one letter, such as wubbleyou. And I said, 'Well, I've got a tin of woup, a woucumber, two packets of wheese and a walliflower'. She tried to make fun of me and said, 'That will be woo pounds, wifty-wee pence.' So I just said 'Wobblers!' and walked out.
"So you see how dickyfelt it is. But help is at hand. A new society has been formed by our mumblers to help each other in times of excream ices. It is balled Pismronouncers Unanimous, and anyone can ball them up on the smellyphone any time of the day or note, twenty-four flowers a spray, seven stays a creek, and they will come 'round and get drunk with you.
"For foreigners, there will be inperpetwitters, who will all speak many sandwiches, such as Swedish, Turkish, Burkish, Jewish, Gibberish and Rubbish. Membranes will be able to attend tight stool, for heaving classes, to learn how to grope with the many complinkities of the daily loaf.
"Which brings me to the drain reason for squeaking to you tonight. The society's first function as a body was a grand garden freight, and we hope for many more bodily functions in the future. The garden plate was held in the grounds of Blennham Paleyass, Woodstick, and the guest of horror was the great American pip singer, Manny Barrellow. The fete was opened by the bleeder of the opposition, Mister Dale Pinnock ... Pillock, who gave us a few well-frozen worms in praise of the society's jerk. He said that 'In the creeks and stunts that lie ahead, we must do out nut roast to ensure that it sucks weeds.' "And everyone visited the various stores and abrusements, the rudeabouts, thing boats and the dodgers, and of course, all the old favorites such as Srty your Length, guessing the weight of the cook and tinning the pale on the wonky. The occasion was great fun, and I think it can safely be said that all the men present and thoroughly good women were had all the time.
"So, please join out society. Write to me, Doctor Small Pith, The Spanner, Poke Moses, and I will send you some brieflets to browse through and a brass badge to wear in your loophole."

An absolutely tragic loss. I am very sad to hear this.
He was one of my alltime heroes. Not just because of the comedy genius he produced but because he managed so much of it while haunted by a palarse-loving dwarf.
