• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

A real shame, one of the great generation of British comedians and actors that included not only himself, but also his partner Griff Rhys-Jones, Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie, Rowan Atkinson, Ade Edmondson and Rick Mayall.
I grew up watching these guys and their shows. Not only was he an actor, but also a director, writer and producer.
