Eric Sykes dies aged 89.
I always loved his comedies and I really must get around to reading his autobiography, that I've had on my 'to read' pile for ages.
RIP Eric Sykes

RIP, I loved his work.

The difference between fiction and reality? Fiction has to make sense.

R.I.P. Eric. A true gentleman who probably closed the door quietly behind him as he left. He never tried to be funny. I recall once on (I think) Parkinson's chat show when Eric was explaining how he couldn't hear without his spectacles. (They had hearing aids built into them).

RIP Eric.
Of all the forces in the universe, the hardest to overcome is the force of habit. Gravity is easy-peasy by comparison.
