My favourite skit was Mel and Rhys Griff Jones attending the funeral of a mate whom wanted to be scattered. Literally chucked arms and legs as they stood around the grave. Macabre but so funny.

The Gorilla sketch from Not the nine o clock news was a classic.

I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.

Mel Smith remembered: 'A gentleman and a scholar, a gambler and a wit'
Griff Rhys Jones talks about his shock at the news of his former comedy partner's death from a heart attack at home

Don't go registering for "Who wants to be a Millionaire" anytime soon Brian - you've got the wrong comedians, the Carling advert was Steve Frost with Mark Arden.

My favourite sketch was the one with the railway buffet car. Mel comes out and distributes sou'westers before serving the soup.
Sadly not on DVD.
