Has died 87 sad to hear. He co wrote the best sitcom of all time, Steptoe & Son, where the word 'puff' originated. Teeside I post anything funny I love comedy and mainly the greatest ever laurel & hardy I have every film, I am not morbid mate but just saying Galton & Simpson were geniusus at comedy, I also love Morecambe and Wise, Spike milligan, Monty python, Les dawson, Billy Connelly the list goes on the likely lads, porridge, open all hours they brighten up my day.
I always thought it was 'Poof'. I think the word 'puff' has been around longer than 87 years. Brilliant comedy though, as you say. Although not the best imo. RIP
Well 2017 is picking up exactly where 2016 left off isn't it! Although most of the people I gre up admiring (comedy acts, Musicians, Actors) will be getting to "that age" now - Wonder how long Jimmy Page and Robert Plant have got left!
