The sudden death of Tim Brooke-Taylor from the corona virus has left me greatly saddened, and I still can’t believe it’s happened. I worked with him on I’m Sorry I Haven’t a Clue for 45 years; it was a privilege and a pleasure, and we always got on well. Nervous as he was about singing, he always gave it his best shot, and he always indicated me afterwards to share in the applause. Graeme Garden is presenting a tribute to him on Radio 4 on 4th May. To see Tim, the also-late-lamented Humph and Jeremy Hardy, along with Barry Cryer, Graeme Garden, producer Jon Naismith and myself in the videoed live stage show from The Lowry, Salford, go to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ohQt_P_wpU. Everyone was on sparkling form. It was recorded in 2008.
