Eric Sykes dies at 89 4 July 2012

Brilliant writer, actor, comedien. His sit-com, Sykes, with Hattie Jaques and Derek Guyler attracted stars such as Peter Sellers. He was even in HP and the Goblet of Fire, playing the caretaker of the Riddle house at the beginning of the film. Saw him once in pantomime at the Theatre Royal, Lincoln. He will be much missed.

I am playing all the right notes, but not necessarily in the right order!

I have a copy of The Plank well worth checking out: Sykes and Tommy Cooper!

Sad news indeed.
