Oldsters test: When you're 55, like I am, and someone his age dies, you say to yourself, "he was just a baby!" Time flies folks, enjoy your life while you can!

Oh, that's a shame. I always enjoyed him on the original Who's Line Is It Anyway.

He used to walk towards the camera during his bits. It made him stand out to me.

RIP.
