EDDIE LARGE IS DEAD

[pigamus]

Every time he looks at his right foot, he thinks of Eddie, and he cries.

[Blumf]

I had no idea he was Scottish. Was he always that way or did he have reassignment surgery later in life?

[Huxleys Babkins]

if he'd survived he'd be British. usual pish from the usual media cunts

RIP Ken Clarke.

[Alberon]

RIP Eddie.

God knows how you managed to turn just two routines (Interrupting Syd and the Car Starting one) into a long running show at the BBC lasting even to the 1990s, but well played.

[Phoenix Lazarus]

three-quarters of one of Britain's best-known duos is dead.

[kaprisky]

Clearly we need to start casting for the inevitable Little and Large biopic that ITV should do, or possibly BBC4. It would put the record straight. Or confuse things. Either way it would get our battered TV industry back on its legs, give the commissioners a guaranteed 15m viewers and provide a BAFTA nomination for the shop mannequin who will play Syd.

It's what they would have wanted.

(Shearsmith and Pemberton are surely the frontrunners for this).

[QDRPHNC]

It's easy to take the piss, but Little and Large were the kings of Saturday night at my granny's house. I nearly choked on a chocolate digestive when Eddie kicked Orville the Duck up into the rafters.

That's being very generous to Syd. I'd say 99% at least.

This is the comeback Corden and Horne have been waiting for!

[Voltan (Man of Steel)]

That doesn't make much sense - Corden would have to lose loads of weight and Horne would have to pile it on.

Healthy for Corden and Horne will do anything

*syd little blasts off reanimated eddie large's head with a shotgun*

he was a zombie??!?!?

I can imagine Eddie's head to grow arms and legs like the Thing and then scuttle off to be a regular panel member of mock the week

[bomb_dog]

....when Eddie kicked Orville the Duck up into the rafters.

Was this the 'I wish, i could fly, right up to the sky, but i can't..', 'you can!', 'i 'can't!', 'you can! [boots upwards]

Been wondering for weeks if it was Eddie, Freddie Starr, or Les Dawson. Is there a video on youtube of this? Tried a search but no luck.

[Jake Thingray]

Afraid to say, Jim Davidson did something very similar once, on one of his godawful specials for Thames.

[Elderly Sumo Prophecy]

If Tommy Cannon dies the two survivors should unite and form Little Ball. Or maybe they could form a trio with Bobby's son and call it Little Balls.



I'm here all week.

I opened the thread with this as the uppermost visible post.  For a moment, I had the idea that Davidson's near-death was denied to us by resuscitation.

[Glebe]

Seriously shitty news. Rest in Peace Ed.

Replacing "God" with Eddie Large in Nietzsche quotes is fun:

Eddie Large is dead; but given the way of men, there may still be caves for thousands of years in which his shadow will be shown. -And we- we still have to vanquish his shadow, too.

What is it: is man only a blunder of Eddie Large, or Eddie Large only a blunder of man?

I cannot believe in an Eddie Large who wants to be praised all the time

[Custard]

I like to think he's up in Heaven with all the other sweet angles, intently staring at a football match and pretending he's part of the staff team

Replacing "God" with Eddie Large in Nietzsche quotes is fun:

Or indeed any quote:

When you stare into the abyss, Eddie Large stares back.

To live is to suffer, to survive is to find some meaning in Eddie Large.

There is no Eddie Large, only impressions.

Eddie Large may very well form a friendship with Sid, but for this to endure, it must be assisted by HUGE physical antipathy.

He who has a why to live can bear almost any number of bad impressions.

[kalowski]

Thou goest to Eddie Large? Do not forget thy whip!

[Funcrusher]

He'll be having an awesome jam session with Manu Dibango right now.

[Mister Six]

So sad that the thread tags aren't fully functional yet.

Sick burn from Jimmy Cricket

True that.

Jimmy Cricket is still alive? Blimey.
I used to like him on 80's children's telly, probably The Joke Machine - all I really remember is a big red box thing & him started or ending his show pretending to read a comedy letter from his mum.
(that and possibly the same time/slightly later getting him confused with Frank Carson).

[Ian Benson]

RIP Large.


Large.
