David Nobbs 1935 - 2015

Prolific comedy writer David Nobbs has died. David worked on The Frost Report and That Was The Week That Was back in the 60's and also for the various shows of Tommy Cooper, Les Dawson and Dick Emery as well as The Two Ronnies. Probably his best known credit was creating the Reggie Perrin series of shows (The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin, The Legacy of Reginald Perrin, spinoff Fairly Secret Army and the re-make Reggie Perrin). He also gave us the excellent A Bit Of A Do , the movie Stalag Luft, Love on a Branch Line, The Life and Times of Henry Pratt, Rich Tea and Sympathy, and Dogfood Dan and the Carmarthen Cowboy...something I've been sitting on for a long time. I'll put it up here one of these days.
