I hear - http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2008/aug/30/bbc.television - that Geoffrey Perkins has been killed ina road accident.
He was the man who produced Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy from the second episode (Simon Brett produced episode one), who introduced Mornington Crescent to I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue and - with Angus Deayton - was central to Radio Active, both writing and performing. He also had input into Spitting Image and was BBC Head of Comedy, and his Harry and Paul< will start this week.
That's thirty years or more of comic genius. The world is a little less bright for his death.
