While the world goes nuts about the demise of someone who contributed precisely zero, someone who actually achieved something gets virtually ignored. Thanks for the laffs, Alan.

Great shows. Steptoe and Son was at times Shakespearean.
We have now sunk to a depth at which the restatement of the obvious is the first duty of intelligent men. [Orwell] |

Yes a good writer. Steptoe and Son was ahead of it's time in some ways and sill amusing now. That said, I always say that the actors are a key factor to the success of comedy.
