Sad news. A peerless comedy talent - whose deadpan delivery inspired generations of comedians who followed - Mr Bob Newhart has died, aged 94.
We never had any of his shows - radio or television - in the UK, as far as I am aware, but his "Best Of" comedy LP was definitely in our family collection when I was growing up...
...probably mainly for this immortal sketch of his (here - ahem - ably assisted my none other than Dino himself):
Utter genius!
RIP, Bob Newhart (5th September 1929 – 18th July 2024)
