Mel Smith RIP

[quackhandle]

I remember being a fan of Colin's Sandwich but I was only 13 at the time.

Best work of his (NTNCN aside) was a Christmas special with a homemade video. Can't remember the title.*

60, that's no age. RIP.

* Edit: found it: Homemade Xmas Video

Sad loss, a comedian from my youth, I spent my teens laughing at not the nine o'clock news.

That´s not your best joke, Mel.
