My personal tribute too. He was one of my real comedy hero's right from when I was a kid. In my opinion a comedy genius, a gentleman and always a gentle humour never needing to revert to anything approaching smut to make you laugh out loud. If anyone has never watched his silent comedy The Plank, please do. It's an absolute gem, cleverly created and acted, and will make you laugh so much. RIP Eric Sykes
Only just heard about this (on here). It is very sad. When I was a kid I used to enjoy watching Eric Sykes with his 'sister' Hattie Jacques. I really thought they were brother and sister when I was a kid! You can watch 'The Plank' on Youtube - also starring Tommy Cooper and Jimmy Edwards.
yes i have seen that one of the best comedy that i have ever seen u will spot all the stars of comedy in it to , we will not see the likes of him again , great man
