My Take
Graeme Garden fascinates me as a rare blend of intellect and glorious silliness. As a member of The Goodies and a fixture on I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue, he helped define a distinctly British strain of clever, absurdist comedy. What strikes me is the sheer range packed into one person: comedian, actor, author, artist, banjoist and director, capped with an OBE. He never seemed a jack-of-all-trades but a genuine master of each. I have deep respect for that seasoned, mischievous wit, the kind built over decades. Comedy like his ages into something rare and quietly treasured.
