*doffs hat*

Timbo always seemed present in the period of my life where I started noticing real comedy.

Today I shall be mostly watching The Goodies DVDs and listening to ISIRTA and ISIHAC.

I also grew up to the goodies. I even had a copy of their single Funky Gibbon back in the day.

I just seen this pop up on the news feed. Very sad.

I always had a softspot for him. I liked him best in the as yet unreleased on dvd tv series Me and My Girl, acting along side another great Richard O'Sullivan.

Taylor could play both the straight man and the funny man in comedy, which is something we don't often see.

RIP.

Another 70s kid here, such a shame

Just been watching Goodies clips on Youtube

Such a terrible shame to hear this. So sorry

Another part of my childhood gone.

It's a shame they never repeat The Goodies, they were really groundbreaking, and never get the credit they deserved. They should be up there with The Goons and Monty Python because of the new ground they broke.

RIP, loved the goodies when I was a kid.

Freakbro · 12 Apr 2020 at 15:48

Yep, another 70's kid here and the Goodies was one of my favourite shows, RIP Tim, thanks for all the laughs.

Beware the art of Ecky-Thump, the Lancashire martial art!

Absurdly brilliant man, so talented and such a loss.
