I grew up on the comedy of David Croft, an absolute legend of comedy sitcom writing.
RIP

David Croft was involved with them all. He did much, much more than Dad's Arny.

The thing is, this isn't even a cliché. It's so true. Same as (though hopefully not to detract from Croft's passing) Porridge/Open All hours, On The Buses, Steptoe And Son et al. Probably showing my age but who cares.

Re: RIP David Croft
Another brilliant comedy writer we`ve lost (don`t forget the equally brilliant John Sullivan who past away a couple of months ago). It is so true when people say they don`t write great sit coms like they used to. R.I.P David Croft
