Just popped out of retirement/on supervised day release from prison/snuck-in to use the forbidden computer in the nurses' office on the secure unit... to add my tribute to this great writer of comedy and, by all accounts, a lovely man too.
Condolences to his family and friends. I had a few conversations with his daughter (Penny) some years ago and she had some lovely stories to tell about her Dad, whom she clearly adored. David Croft obviously had a lot of time for those he worked with and mentored many a producer and director along the way - many of whom went on to produce their own successful shows.
Another legend of the genre has passed. Glad he lasted so long and went so peacefully.
R.I.P.
