[Humour] Roy Hudd - RIP

[Hu_Camus]

Which let to the dubious taste example of a frothing ladies downstairs area being 'as wet as Rod Hulls roof '

....which to be fair, would make it just as slippy as paste spilled from a paper-hangers bucket

....which to be fair, would make it just as slippy as paste spilled from a paper-hangers bucket

I remember Timmy Lea in Confessions Of a Window Cleaner likening it to a snail’s front doorstep.

RIP Roy even if you were a Palace fan. Funny and likeable bloke.

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Does Emu still go in there occasionally, or has he moved away?

Not sure but he did go a bit limp

 

[wellquickwoody]

Poor old Emu.

RIP Roy.

or not actually funny

Rod Hull fell off his roof, whilst helping Emu fix his tv aerial

Are you sure you aren't confusing him with Tommy Cooper?

[Pavilionaire]

Who died in bizarre fashion whilst trying to fix the tv aeriel on the roof of his house.

R.I.P. both Roy and Rod.

As did Tony Hayers. What was he doing on the bloody roof?

R.I.P Roy.

It really has been a gruel year.

A Quaker I believe, and related to Antarctic explorer Titus Oats.

RIP Roy Hudd, a mainstay of the tv and radio channels from my youth. I think when we lose Bernard Cribbins, God will have the full set.

I didn't realise he was 70. Strange to think he was only 13 years younger than Hudd. Less than a generation between the two, but culturally so disparate.

Roy Hudd dead - that's sad. l always liked him. 83's a decent innings. RIP Ror.

Barry Cryer needs to be up there to write the punchlines.......happily he’s still going strong at the moment

There’s a nice article on Beenard Cribbins in the Telegraph today incidentally

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

A very talented comedian, writer, and mimic. He did a great impersonation of Flanagan in Flanagan and Allen. He was also an expert on music hall.

As is my old class mate and bass player in the legendary 'Bruce', Neil Brand.

I was going to start a thread, but got distracted. One of the creepiest recordings on my iPod.

Jim Dale is also still alive ... but there aren't too many left from the 60s

Hudd was a fascinating bloke: he wrote an excellent book on Dan Leno and did so much to keep Max Miller's memory alive. What a wonderful and varied life he had

Same here, I thought he was early 60s. I remember seeing him around Brighton years back, he had baby face good looks with disturbingly attractive eyes
