Comedy Guru's Demise is a Tragedy - Entertainment - redOrbit

"THE death of Geoffrey Perkins has left a huge gap in the world of British television. He was one of the greatest comedy producers of the last 20 years and his death on Friday in a road accident, at the age of just 55, is a blow that will be felt right across my industry.

Geoffrey was the original producer of Father Ted. Later, as head of comedy for the BBC, he was responsible for countless hits such as The Fast Show, Catherine Tate, My Family, Coupling and 2 Pints of Lager And A Packet Of Crisps.

Before that he worked in radio, where he produced The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy."

ESCAPED CONVICT

ESCAPED CONVICT... A man escapes from prison where he has been for 15 years.

He breaks into a house to look for money and guns and finds a young couple in bed.


He orders the guy out of the bed and ties him to a chair while tying the girl to the bed, he gets on top of her, kisses her neck, then gets up and goes into the bathroom.


While he's in there, the husband whispers to his wife, 'Listen, this guy's an escaped convict – look at his clothes! He probably spent lots of time in jail and hasn't seen a woman in years.


I saw how he kissed your neck.


If he wants sex, don't resist, don't complain, do whatever he tells you.


Satisfy him no matter how much he nauseates you.


This guy is probably very dangerous... If he gets angry, he'll kill us.


Be strong, honey. I love you.


To which the wife responds, 'He wasn't kissing my neck. He was whispering in my ear.


He told me he was gay, thinks you're cute, and asked if we had any Vaseline.


I told him it was in the bathroom.


Be strong, honey. I love you, too.
