Just read that British comedian Mel Smith has died of a heart attack, aged 60. I grew up watching Mel and Griff (his partnership with Griff Rhys-Jones.) Sad news.

you better put it all behind you, baby, 'cause life goes on
you keep carrying that anger, it'll eat you up inside--
Oh !! That's who they were talking about on The Young Ones FB page. He was the guy who told Vyvyan Bacon Sandwich was a funny name for a ferret !!
I wasn't familiar with him, but 60 is way too young to die of a heart attack. My heart goes out to his loved ones.
R.I.P. Mel.

We were huge Smith & Jones fans & before that Not The Nine O'clock News. Very sad.
Although I am not familiar with him, I can relate to the sadness of having a favorite personality pass away. Dying at 60 is too close for comfort for me. May he RIP.

And I dream I'm on vacation 'Cause I like the way that sounds,
It's a perfect occupation for me.
I always remembered him as the London hotel clerk in National Lampoon's European Vacation. RIP.

You can see the stars and still not see the light.
Very sad news, and again much too young. I know my brother and his friends used watch NT9OCN and Smith and Jones too. I wasn't as familiar!
But in nay case may he Rest in Peace.

I too remember Not The Nine O'Clock News, and still have a vinyl of it somewhere. The "We Like Trucking" song springs to mind! Alas Smith and Jones was also a good spin off.
Very sad news.
