Mel Smith has died

[JakeBullet]

Heart attack apparently

Oh how sad - a real loss.

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

Do you have a problem Gobby?

Eh?
I posted sad face - has the app produced weirdness again?

Weirdness I think. .it's done this before hasn't it?

No idea, what's showing? Displaying correctly this end...

No! Bloody hell, that's a shocker. Rest in peace Mel.

Oh that's sad, much too young

That's sad. He was such an amazing comedian.

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

oh :(

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. How very sad that he has died.

I so often quote sketches from 'Not the Nine O'clock News' as I meander through life.
Very sad news - great loss to entertainment. RiP Mel

Oh no, love Mel Smith.

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.

Oh my goodness - how sad. I knew he had heart problems :(

I remmeber Alias Smith and Jones. I loved him in that video he did with Kim Wilde as well. RIP.

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.

Awww!!! Just saw it on Femail. So said. Those of us of a certain age used to love him.....when there were only 4 channels on tv.

So sad.....not said.....
