RIP Tim Brooke-Taylor

[chomalungma]

Apparently he has died from Covid-19

I don't really remember him from The Goodies but I did like him on I'm sorry I haven't a clue.

Goodeeeeeees, Goodie Goodie yum yum

Ekkee-thoomp

RIP Tim

I’ve been a big fan for the past 40yrs+.

Hopefully the BBC will re-run the Goodies.

That is so sad. The Goodies was my favourite programme as a child; no Christmas was complete without The Goodies and the Beanstalk!

RIP Mr Brooke Taylor, thanks for all the laughs.

Oh no, RIP Tim.

RIP Tim, a lovely man ......such fond memories of the Goodies, no other programme quite like it! (+ Funky Gibbon!)

A real loss. So, so sad.

Ah yes, @angorarabbit, who could forget the Funky Gibbon? I'm going to be singing that all day now!

I watched the Goodies as a bairn.

Loved him on ISIHAC.

Sad news

Oh what a shame

No, the reporting is that he died 'with' it, not 'of' it.
A distinction the Swedes make but the British seem unable to grasp.

So sad, I’m gutted :(

Bloody virus

Thank you for making us laugh so much! You were a delightful man.
We love watching The Goodies on our VHS tapes.
RIP

RIP

What a loss. Absolute comedy legend.
Thoughts with his family.

It is reported he died with Covid19 not from it though so lets not make any assumptions.

@Stellamboscha Not really the time for pedantry. People are just here to pay respects .

I saw him in Jan in a live recording of ISIHAC.Thought he was marvellous for his age then. Loved his Queen Victoria voice. RIP

Loved the Goodies and SIHGAC. He always came across as a warm, funny, true gentleman. This is such sad news.

BBC quotes Jack Dee: "It has come as devastating news to hear that Tim has succumbed to this dreadful virus - especially when we all thought he was recovering." I see no point in nitpicking about what exactly caused his death. Pretty clear though that it doesn't do anyone's health any good to get this virus. At 79 he may have had underlying conditions. Most older people will. Dreadfully sad, whatever the cause of death.

No we saw him in Jan at an ISIHAC live show with Jack Dee, et al. That's so sad to hear.

Barry Cryer's 85. Sharp as a tack still. Hope he's staying inside!

I grew up watching the Goodies, so this is a real shame. Today is a bad day as we also lost Stirling Moss too.

Farewell, Timbrook.

You are in your land of hope and glory now. Thank you for the wonderful laughs.

I loved the Goodies growing up. RIP Tim.

How sad - TBT was a voice of a 70s childhood. Loved The Goodies and ISIHAC.

Oh no! How sad. I'll miss him on ISIHAC.

Sad news, we always watched The Goodies and loved the innocent lunacy of it. RIP.

I'm sad, I loved the Goodies as a child and now my young people do too, what a legacy. We'll miss him very much
