    Mel Smith died last night age 60 from a heart Attack. - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-23390982

    Another great loss to the British comedy library. I grew up watching Alas Smith and Jones through my younger years. The face to face scenes with Griff Rhys Jones are legendary and some of the best funny moments of British comedy.

    Oops, completely forgot to post this one!! hehe.

    Yeah, it was sad. I think he could be a bit off with people, especially in his private time. Still, you're entitled to your privacy. He was a very talented man and brought us some great productions, both through his television and film work and his formation of Talkback. RIP Mel. A huge loss of a great comedian, actor, writer, director and presenter.
