Actor/write/director/comedian... a true all round entertainer. He had such a brilliant chemistry with Terry-Thomas in Kill or Cure.

RIP Eric. :(

    Yes agreed. He was a staple of British TV in the 60s and 70s, especially in his Sykes TV show with Hattie Jacques.

    A wonderful comic actor

    He lived to 89, which is a good innings in anyone's book, but he was such a talented, old-school comedian and clearly such a gent along with it that it's hard not to feel it's a sad day indeed on which fate's unkindly taken one of the greats.

    RIP, an utter legend...

    We lose another Tv and Comedy LEGEND. Another very sad day indeed. Thoughts and prayers to his family and friends.

    RIP Eric Sykes
