Oh no. Genuinely shocked when I saw that.

And now The Cat, Peter Bonetti, has died.

Didn’t realise that he co wrote the four Yorkshireman sketch. The Goodies were part of growing up for me in the 70’s. RIP Tim.

Very sad to hear that. He was a local lad here, living in Cookham. When I moved back to Maidenhead in 1982 I joined Winter Hill Golf Club in Cookham, as I had to wait for three years to get in to my first choice club, Sonning. (Waiting lists in those days!) Tim Brooke-Taylor was a member at Winter Hill. Very keen golfer and very good club member, absolutely no side to him. He also did a tremendous amount of charity work locally, Maidenhead, Windsor, Cookham, Marlow. His photo was always in the Maidenhead Advertiser doing charity work. RIP.

Makes it even sadder news.

Someone said he was a Derby fan, just to add nothing at all to this thread.

Yes, he co-wrote the Yorkshiremen sketch which wasn't Monty Python's originally. I remember loving his Court Official portrayal in a Secret Policeman's Ball sketch, superb physical comedy.

Born in Buxton in the Peak District so would make sense.

Sad day yesterday. May all 3 Rest in Peace.

Actor Brian Dennehy had died aged 81, was in Rambo First Blood as well as many other movies, RIP Brian
