    Brilliant comic. The broken hand drier sketch in the men's toilet was a classic.
    God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
    Courage to change the things I can,
    And wisdom to know the difference.

    I was hoping to resist a post in this thread for appearing to be over sentimental about someone that I have never met, however, I was recently wondering what ever happened to such a funny person as Mel Smith as he has not grassed our screens for such a long time. I'm sorry the answer has come in it's present form. One of my favourite sketches was when they won the contract to dig the channel tunnel and some of the excuses as to why they where behind schedule, Like, (they where waiting for a skip), (I lent out my extension lead)Classic stuff.
    A man who fears suffering is already suffering from what he fears.

    Sad to hear that. The man was as Kodiak said a comic genius.
    I really hate being bipolar. It's awesome!!!

    Smith was indeed a comic genius, and a wonderful man too. The world is a less smiley place without him.
