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

    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.

    RIP

    So much a part of family life when young, how many shows did he coo-write that brought the whole nation together around the TV. RIP.

    Dark humour I'll admit.
    But still brilliantly written and funny.
