Thank you for all the laughs Eric, particularly 'The Plank', one of the funniest pieces of telly from my childhood.

Yes, thank you for the left field lunacy!

A master merrymaker.

Yes, a man behind a lot of famous comedian's gags

I never appreciated the Tv series when I was young, but now its better than a lot of the dross that's on these days

RIP Eric

Have seen a couple of versions of The Plank, defo one of the funniest things I've ever seen.

A great contributor to comedy who will be greatly missed.
