    Holy Crap! :( Genuine sadness here, Not the Nine O'Clock News and the early Smith & Jones were great comedy. Colins Sandwich is a forgotten gem.

    Tip of the hat to the memory of Mel. He was gold back in the 80s and early 90s.

    Another great comedian RIP, hadnt seen much of him in quite a while.
    Good compilation here

    The dialogues with Griff were brill

    Alas Smith and Jones ran for 10 seasons '82 to 98 (name was a pun on Alias Smith and Jones)

    Freaky,

    I was only watching Not The Nine O'Clock last night & wondered what had become of him.

    RIP Mel.

    He did the voice for this gets shown at least once a year on BBC

    Is there not an action movie actor called Mel Smith?

    I know there is Mel Gibson, but I'm sure I can hear this blockbuster voiceover in my head saying "starring... Mel Smith ... "

    Sorry for asking this in the other Mel Smith's RIP thread, I have no idea who the guy in the OP is but RIP all the same.

    RIP Mel.

    My favourite Christmas themed video. Everyone clearly having a whale of a time.

    Kinda depressing when the young oiks of AH are posting "who?"
