Comments on: Geoffrey Perkins, RIP http://www.offthetelly.co.uk/?p=1966 Contemporary and classic British TV Wed, 24 Feb 2010 13:09:53 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.2 By: Clinton Morgan http://www.offthetelly.co.uk/?p=1966&cpage=1#comment-26 Clinton Morgan Mon, 01 Sep 2008 15:07:00 +0000 http://www.offthetelly.co.uk/?p=1966#comment-26 Very sad news indeed. What a waste of a decent life. My first exposure to him that I was aware of was on Radio Active. If I was a person branching out into comedy television programming and I found out that Geoffrey Perkins was on board I would indeed consider that a great honour. Although not all of the programmes associated with him were of the quality of Father Ted and One Foot In The Grave. It is interesting to see him at work on the DVD extras for The Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy.

Whilst I didn’t enjoy every show he commissioned or had a hand in (though I disagree with one comment in your article – I derived great joy from Coupling right to the end of the series) I was a huge fan of KYTV when it was first broadcast – I must have been around 11 or 12. I loved the character of Mike Flex – I even quote him to this day – and also Geoffrey’s Swedish character Ivan Vondstrum (?!?) who popped up from time to time. From then on I always recognised his name on the credits of shows, and one of my favourite Father Ted scenes to this day is his voiceover for the Cuban Father Hernandez “No?” (“No.”)

This is very sad news.
