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.

I too am of the age to have watched the Goodies as a child and listened to ISIHAC for years. Tried many times to get tickets but never any luck.
RIP Tim.

Oh no Sad ISIHAC won't be the same without Timbrook.

Loved The Goodies.

Their version of Wild Thing is, imho, the best! (I even have the 7" single still).

"Wild thing... Grrrrr!"

Yes indeed.

So sad to hear this. I was about 7 when The Goodies first started. I loved it and it's still one of my favourite comedies of all time.

“Don’t cry for me, Marge and Tina.”

Ah he’ll be missed.

I was so sorry to hear this. I loved The Goodies Sad

I loved ISIRTA. Especially Lady Constance. I used to sit in my bedroom and listen to it on my little transistor radio on Sunday afternoons.
He was brilliant. So clever and so funny.
RIP.

I'm gutted to hear this news. The Goodies was my absolute favourite when I was a child, and I also loved him on ISIHAC.

The Goodies was just brilliantly unashamedly silly.

Start a campaign for them to re-release the Funky Gibbon?

The goodies was hilarious, it had me and my dad in stitches

Sad news, but amused to learn I’m not the only one who, for rather longer than I care to admit, thought he was called Timbrook.

I loved The Goodies and The Funky Gibbon.
I will always call him "Timbrook". Flowers

The episode of Me and My Girl with that drunk scene.

I'm gutted. Far too early.
