Shame
I know lots of people had various opinions regarding him but i (and my family) had the pleasure of spending a evening with him and his family back in 1985
We were on holiday in Scilly and we had dinner and drinks (i didn't, i was 13 ;)) together.
He was charming and hugely funny
He threw water all over some Germans, made fun of the waiters, got into a food fight and made us laugh all night (side splitting laughing too)
The next day he posed for photographs with my brother and i
Every picture he tickled us!!
At the time he was all over the TV and i liked his shows but thought he was a script monkey
In real life, he was very silly, funny, entertaining and nice
Rest in peace :(
