A rather inadequate tribute to comic actor and writer Eric Sykes, who died yesterday. This advert appeared in the 3 February 1977 issue of Country Life magazine.
I loved all his appearances, from watching him with the peerless Hattie in my childhood through to appreciating his voice-overs while watching "Tellietubbies" with my own toddlers many years ago. He will be very much missed.
My favourites were the various silent films that he made, such as The Plank and It's Your Move. I intend to feature these in the blog in the future. He really did represent a lost era of British comedy.
