Stephen Fry, David Walliams lead tributes for Tim Brooke-Taylor.
Comedian Rob Brydon shared fond memories of Tim and wrote: ‘A wonderful man, so many happy times sat next to him on I’m Sorry I Haven’t A Clue. Here we are with Barry, Colin and Graeme at a celebration of the show in January. He was on great form. My thoughts are with his family.’Britain’s Got Talent judge David Walliams similarly recalled how Tim impacted his career and said: ‘I was obsessed with ‘The Goodies’ as a child, the first comedy show I really loved.
‘I queued up to get the Goodies’ autographs as a grown-up, and got to meet Tim Brooke-Taylor more recently at a party. I was in total awe, but he was so kind & generous. It is so sad he is gone.’ Scottish impressionist Rory Bremner also said: ‘So sad that lovely – and much loved – Tim Brooke-Taylor has died. Always a Goodie, his modesty belied a huge legacy in British comedy – in show after show from Cambridge days on, from I’m Sorry I’ll Read That Again to Clue.‘His huge list of credits is testament to his humour, his ability and timing, his kindness & dependability – a true team player – and a funny, lovely man to boot.
Tim’s agent confirmed the sad news of his death and said in a statement: ‘Tim’s agent wrote: ‘It is with great sadness that we announce Tim’s death early today from Covid-19. ‘Joining Footlights in 1960 took him to providing a huge variety of splendid entertainment – television, radio, theatre, film, books, DVDs, CDs, quizzes, etc – all of which he undertook with energy and a great sense of fun.’
