RIP Eli Woods

Part of what must be considered as one of the greatest routines of all time - The Box Sketch.

Plus other stuff, LOTSW for example.

I thought he died years ago! Wasn't he the one Hylda Baker used to ask "Have you been?"

Is it meant to say RIP?

Jimmy Jewel. Certain similarity in lugubrious looks maybe. Google the Box on YouTube etc very funny and I am sure his uncle/cousin can't remember which influenced Eric Morecambe certainly a very similar style, which admittedly was probably a bit of a staple in the theatres at the time.

Yes, sorry.

My excuse is the time I posted at!
