Brilliant guy!
I only saw this brilliant sketch for the first time a couple of years back on a comedy compilation show where I also discovered the wonderful "mastermind sketch" with the man who gives the answer to the previous (or was it the next) question.
Of course being a youngster I only really remember (repeats?) of Open all Hours and bits of the Two Ronnies, did they do a sketch once called "Raiders of the Lost Auk"
I did see a repeat a few years back of "Futtocks End " a wonderful British Seaside Humour "Silent" comedy he wrote and starred in back in 1970 (long before I was born).
Sorry too much woffling here, a true comedy genius and will be much missed.

A true comedy genius who ranks up at the top with the best that British comedy has ever produced.
A sad loss to us all

The WHOOSH Manâ„¢
To have had a full life, entertained more people on national television (17 million) simultaneously than may ever happen again, to always be remembered for having a smile on your face in private and for none of your colleagues to have a single bad word for you and indeed to count so many respectable and genuine people as your friends.... is an almost impossible feat.
Although it is very sad to lose a 'friend' it is wonderful that the memories of that person cannot fail to bring a smile to your face. He desired to be remembered for making people laugh - that couldn't be more true. A fitting end.
A truly unique person the likes of whom none of us will experience in our lifetime again.
