Great in the Goodies. A integral part of many of our childhoods, and in a lot of ways ahead of its time.

Very sad news. I’m a huge Goodies fan and Tim always seemed like a decent guy.

Very sad news but for me not so much a loss for the Goodies as I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue and I'm Sorry I'll Read that Again before them. RIP Lady Costance !!

And so wonderfully of its time, too. If anyone wants to know what the Seventies was like culturally and socially, there’s a Goodies episode that parodies it.

Glam, punk, disco, UFOs, politics, royalty, women’s lib, race relations, football hooliganism, unemployment, mechanisation, the class war... It’s all there.

Saw him as part of the ISIHAC live show back in January and he wasn't looking as spritely as normal - even allowing for the fact that he was 79. Will miss his singing on ISIHAC - his version of Wrecking Ball is legendary but I can't find that on youtube so this will have to do. RIP Tim, Say hello to Humph.

Must not forget his influence on Python too. Some of the earlier sketches were adopted from his works. He was part of the Footlights group. So a trailblazer for the new wave of satirical comedy that has stayed with us.

I sit in my bath and I have a good laugh.

Will the aardvarks ever reach the summit of Mount Panama ? (A line I have had stuck in my brain since about 1967)
