Still some sharp wits around so I hope it is not the end.

Very funny guy.Could have been a stand up but eczema put him off.Tarby had a go at him,but then Tarby was an arse.Just listened to a sketch where you leave one letter out to make a song title,genuinley laugh out loud stuff.When you think of who he wrote for it's a who's who of British comedy.Anyway RIP.

Spot on Numpty.
“My longevity is due to cigarettes and lager. I can’t account for it. It’s just a number. I don’t know how long I’ve got left. I don’t even buy green bananas.”
Quite incredible the number of comedians who were funny because of his writings.
Very quick witted, and by all accounts a top bloke.

The Tarbuck story is.Tarbuck was doing an after dinner speech and saw Cryer in the audience,and he said 'will I speak a bit slower so you can write this down?'.Tory git, couldn't tie Barry Cryer's shoelaces.

Absolutely! Brilliant writer and comedian.
I cut out the fags 15 years ago due to sleep problems. Couldn't sleep because my wife kept on waking me up to tell me I was wheezing . Fucking true!

His favourite joke
A man is driving down a country road when he knocks down and kills a cockerel. He sees the farm house so he takes the stricken bird and knocks on the door. When the farmer answers the door he says "I am very sorry I have killed your cockerel and I would like to replace him." to which the farmer replies. "That is very good of you, the hens are round the back."
