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.

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.

I always remembered him as the London hotel clerk in National Lampoon's European Vacation. RIP.

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.
