Yes, dead at just 65: https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radi ... dies-at-65

I loved pretty much all of his work. I don't think he courted the limelight despite making tv and radio shows for years, and writing for the mainstream press. How many here remember TV Offal, probably most famous for the gay daleks which is hardly the apogee of his oeuvre.

I remember TV Offal and the Gay Daleks ("White wee wee! White wee wee!).

RIP. 65 is no age.
If you get all wobbly-lipped about the opinion of Internet strangers, maybe it's time to take a bath with the toaster as you'll never amount to sh1t anyway.

Very sad - gallows humour, but can’t help bringing to mind his various mock obituaries over the years.

RIP.
