Some sad news for UK comedy fans, and the team here at Radio & Telly.
Geoffrey Perkins has died in a car accident, aged 55. Over the years, he produced a number of popular comedy series – most notably for us, BBC Radio’s Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, written by the late Douglas Adams. Geoffrey was also involved series including Father Ted, KYTV, Spitting Image, Fast Show, Coupling and Harry Enfield’s Television show.
For us, he’ll be remembered for his hand in the BBC radio comedy series Radio Active, where as well as writing much of the content, he played presenter Mike Flex.
Your influence will be missed.
