How old was he and what happened

Sad news - they were all very clever men as well

interesting about their shared background with the pythons

The ‘good-natured rivalry’ with Monty Python is still evident. They were all friends and flatmates at Cambridge University (where Garden was president of the esteemed Footlights) though you sense they might also be mildly aggrieved that the Pythons became very wealthy men.

Happier times ......

Loved The Goodies. He was great on Clue as well.

It’s a crying shame that the BBC has refused to repeat The Goodies over the years.

A life well lived.
May you continue bringing joy and laughter that's needed more now than ever.
RIP Tim Brooke Taylor.

The Goodies was nuts. Best episode I remember was the Jack & the Beanstalk though I haven't seen it in 40+ years

The Loch Ness monster hunt one with the genius that is Stanley Baxter was brilliant.

My favourite episode. Think they got dive bombed by the geese as they were trying to escape.

RHLSTP (Richard Herring’s Leicester Square Theatre Podcast) had all three Goodies on in a special from Bristol Slapstick festival on 6/3/19.

It is a really lovely chat for an hour. So very sad he is now gone.
