Comedian Tim Brooke-Taylor has died at the age of 79 with coronavirus, his agent has confirmed to the BBC.

 

The entertainer, best known for The Goodies and I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue, died on Sunday.

 

Fellow Goodie star Graeme Garden said he was "terribly saddened by the loss of a dear colleague and close friend of over 50 years".

 

"He was a funny, sociable, generous man who was a delight to work with," Garden said.

 

"Audiences found him not only hilarious but also adorable. His loss at this dreadful time is particularly hard to bear, and my thoughts are with Christine, Ben, Edward and their families."

That is very sad. The Goodies were a major part of my early childhood. Possibly becuase I was not allowed to watch Mony Python. Not that I would have got it anyway.

The Goodies however were perfect childhood comedy.

RIP Tim, and thanks for the laughs.

I loved the Goodies as a child and continued to love hearing TBT on the radio in I’m Sorry I Haven’t A Clue.

 

He will be sorely missed.

 

Useless fact: TBT’s brother was a solictor in Buxton.
