He truly was the king of British comedy writing.

 

[borebage53]

We’ve always had a long and rich vein of wonderful British comedy writers. Eric Sykes,Barry Took,Marty Feldman,Michael Bentine,John Junkin and Willie Rushton would be just some of my earliest favourites!

……all of the Monty Python stars were great comedy writers also. A good shout for Neil Innes too!

 

[Silver Fox]

So much funnier than today's woke comedians who seem to only think swearing and uncomfortable comedy are funny. RIP Barry.

Spike Milligan was my favourite

Spike Milligan was my favourite

Spike was in a category all of his own really. Which confirms just how great he was!
