Yes, very sad news, RIP.

RIP

He famously made Ern an intellectual, what he did...

Eddie Braben really developed the characters of Morecambe and Wise and made them into so much more than just a straight double act. He had a marvellous sense of the surreal and could employ some wonderful turns of phrase. A great loss to the world of comedy.

RIP A comedy genius who wrote some of the best sketches ever made in the whole world.

RIP Eddie We will miss you. Here is a clap for his work.

*claps* Bye mate.

One of those I thought must've died years ago.

RIP!

I didn't know he wrote for Play Your Cards Right. Okay you've got to make jokes with the contestants, but it does seem a waste.

Still, you can only go down from M & W...
