:( indeed.  I grew up on my father's Spike/Goon ("He's fallen in the 
water!" ) impressions (they both had manic depression in common) and 
his nonsense verse - some of which I can recite to this day, and I 
have all his memoirs.

Extremely funny man.  I've particularly enjoyed his guest appearances 
on shows over the last few years - my favourite had to be seeing him 
out-talk Paul Merton (an amazing feat in itself) and try and put 
Portsmouth into Room 101.
