http://www.itv.com/news/2017-01-23/allo-allo-star-gorden-kaye-dies-aged-75/ Yes, 'Allo Allo' was un-PC. Still brilliant, though.

I enjoyed 'Allo 'Allo. I was surprised Gorden Kaye was only 75, I would have thought he was older.

Aw.

There's a good programme on Gold called We Have Been Watching. It's interesting watching comedy actors analysing what so often appears to be tv silliness. It has helped me appreciate the craft behind shows such as this, and the skills of the performers.

And this show gave me some huge laughs when it first came out.

Yes, I really like that programme too. The old cliche is that nothing is as serious as comedy, and OK, it's a bit shopworn, but the sheer craft of comedians at the top of their game doing their thing is a wonder to behold.

In other news, Kim Hartman as Helga gave adolescent me something else altogether.

...  The old cliche is that nothing is as serious as comedy  ...

What?  Was it a ... COMEDY?

I thought 'Allo 'Allo was a documentary.

Why do people say RIP when someone dies, it is meaningless?

Surely not the place for this kind of discussion. Start a thread somewhere more appropriate.

Wrist in peas, Gorden.
