Prolific writer with a career that lasted nearly 60 years. One of my personal comedy heroes and someone who found fame as a writer first and a performer second.

The door to 28 Sebastopol Terrace clicks shuts for the last time. Thanks Eric!

I'm sure he'll go to comedy heaven where he can spend all eternity with 72 Hatties.

I have to confess this to someone: I thought he'd been dead for years...

That feels better.

Mary, you were not alone!

My first thought on learning of his death was "Oh! Was he still alive then?"

One of my Granda's favourites, and by all accounts, a true gent.

He was great. Typically understated.

What was that film where they thought they had ghosts but they were the ghosts? He was in that.
Great actor. One of those people who just always has a smile playing around their lips. You can't help but smile too.

The Others. Scared me to near insensibility that film did. Eric was a ghost but I can't remember if he knew he was or not.
