Heard that last night. I only really recall seeing him on Whose Line where he was quick, but I think he wrote for Spitting Image too ? (Edit: the BBC link confirms that - duh).
Not old enough.
RIP

This is pretty much my take on it too.

He was on QI a lot in the earlier days - when you look back there's a stark difference to what QI became. The likes of John Sessions were not only funny, but also incredibly intelligent, with some genuinely interesting facts and stories to impart.
He was also a great actor, both in comedy and serious roles. Had a habit of popping up in series you wouldn't expect, such as Rab C Nesbitt, Friday Night Dinner, Shameless etc.
RIP

I mainly remember him from Whose Line, but really enjoyed Stella Street, with Mick & Keith’s corner shop which I thought was properly genius.
