What is impressive is the range of acts he worked with and wrote for.
Throughout he was working with cutting edge acts new acts like Spike, the Pythons and Kenny Everett, satirical shows like The Frost Report, for traditional mainstream UK comics like Morecambe & Wise, the Two Ronnies, Bob Monkhouse and Tommy Cooper, international stand up superstars like Bob Hope, Jack Benny and George Burns and nearly all the current 'alternative' comedians are full of praise for help he gave them. It only seems like a year ago he was on Count Arthur Strong.
Quite remarkable.
