Quite shocked about this. Lost a relative to the same cause at an equally young age.

Very sad. Saw Griff giving a speech recently and thought of Mel.

Gobby, it's showing a sceptical face.

Ooh. Have reported as tech issue, cheers.
I am really sad about this. Grew up with Alas Smith & Jones and was only recently watching NtNocN.

Very sad. We lost my dad at a similar age a few years ago from a heart attack. I remember watching Alas Smith and Jones as a teenager with my dad and it being one of his favourites. The news just made me shed a little a tear for Mel's family and my own Sad

I was just watching Not the 9 O'clock news last night, and talking to H about how that was my formative comedy, I loved it in my teens and still remember loads of the sketches now. Sad How very sad that he has died.

Apparently he has been ill for some time according to....er....someone. Think it was GRJ.

He said that for Mel it was probably a release.

I was shocked to see this today, Not The 9 O'Clock News is my favourite sketch show of all time, I used to video it and watch it over and over. I can quote it endlessly. A sad loss.
