dramatic comedy/pathos genius .. if he'd been French or Italian he would have got world wide recognition as such .. R I P .. I doubt we'll be entertained and educated by his like ever again
Watched the entire box-set of Steptoe and Son last year. Fantastic writing that is so much better than anything you see in today's so-called sitcoms, and mostly just set in their house and yard in Oil Drum Lane without relying on contrived situations.

With Alan Simpson, 2 of the great scriptwriters, I still laugh at Steptoe and Hancock
