RIP Denis Norden

[Mince n Tatties]

Great Innings 96.

[RaySmith]

A great wit and raconteur - involved in writing  much of the funniest English comedy since the war.
RIP

Another one whose solely set out to make us laugh. RIP

[Lighthouse]

He was a writer on many 50s and early 60s radio shows. Usually with writing partner Frank Muir. Always a delight to listen to some of his work that is still repeated today on Radio 4 extra. His tv appearances on Alright on the Night will be what the modern audience will remember him by. But his early radio writing is also worth dipping into.

[Woolly Mammoth]

Yes he was a really good natural bloke, easy to listen to, and very talented at what he did. I once saw him at an Airport and didn't realise how tall he was.
Rest in Peace.

[Fernhurst]

English gentleman who was treasured by those of us of a certain vintage.

RIP Denis, condolences to all your family.

The radio writing was, in my view, much better that the rather contrived TV stuff.

A golden era in my opinion.

RIP man was a genius and in latter years a bit undervalued.

Far be it for me to criticise such a brilliant man on tv or for his writing but I can tell you that on the phone he was not easy to talk to.

I'm not easy to talk to when people constantly ring me asking for money.
