Mel Smith 60.

Surprised to hear of Mel's death; he wasn't that old and I hadn't realised he'd been ill.

Responsible for some great comedy; I want to go and watch Morons From Outer Space and Wilt now.

A few weeks ago I was searching for a Smith and Jones sketch on Youtube but had no luck. It was on the set of a horror movie, and Smith and Jones were extras (who do you play? I'm "man with axe through head"). Part of the sketch went something like this (from memory):

- "Have you done this before?"

- "Yes, I was in Star Wars, I was a stormtrooper, the one going like this" [waves arms around]

- "That's interesting, I'll have to look out for that"

- "Oh it's not in, they cut me out"

- "Why?"

- "Well it looked stupid didn't it, a stormtrooper going like this" [waves arms around again]

Anyone else remember this, or can find a clip?

I'm afraid not. I remember him as the security guard in The Young ones University Challenge piss take. "Bacon sandwich, funny name for a ferret?"
