Another death to report roll
I don't know if anyone remembers John Junkin or not?
I remember John Junkin being a script writer a comedy performer and also being on the Dave Lee Travis show on a Sunday morning back many moons ago wink

I was just reading his obituary on the BBC News website and I knew he did a lot of comedy scriptwriting but I didnt realise how much work he did. One suprise was to see that he had a guest part in A Hard Day's Night, and that he wrote material for Morecombe and Wise, Tommy Cooper Ronnie Barker and etc... not to mention material used on BBC Radio. I think as far as british comedy is concerned he had quite a career.
