That's sad. I loved Yes Minister, you just don't get intelligently written programs like that any more. Even The Thick of It was a pale imitation.

Gilli Smyth of Gong - a year or so after Daevid. We saw them play together in 2013 and even the two of them having a spot of food in the pub beforehand. Despite their relatively advanced ages I would've never have dreamt only a few years later they'd both be gone  :'(
Aww. I used to draw flying teapots and pot-head pixies on my schoolbooks, and Opium for the People was something of an anthem for me and my uni housemates, although I could never keep track of who was in which incarnation of Gong at any one time.

It's all right, that's in every contract.
That's what they call a sanity clause.
You can't fool me, there ain't no sanity clause.

I got a message online from my Daughter to tell me. She loved the Willy Wonka film as a kid.

Oh crud I adored Gene Wilder in Blazing Saddles and as WW.  Another sad loss.

Gene Wilder was one of the truly great comic actors. Absolute massive fan of his work sorry to hear of his passing.

Star of no less than four of my favourite movies, sad news indeed.

Sorry to hear this.  Goodbye, Mr Wonka - the true one.  I like Johnny Depp, but he couldn't effortlessly combine cheery and sinister half as well as Gene Wilder could.

Ah, tis sad news indeed. As others have also said on here, Gene starred in many favourite films of mine as well.

RIP, Mr Wilder. And thanks for all the laughs.


And a rather belated RIP to Lucy - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-37194764

Very sad about Gene Wilder. I remember they showed us Willy Wonka at school one end of term. RIP.

Loved Gene Wilder. There always seemed to be a warmth in his performances, even when he was playing the most neurotic of characters.
