Last train to Mornington Crescent

Geoffrey Perkins
1953—2008

Comedy producer, writer and performer, Geoffrey Perkins, has died in a car accident aged 55.

He produced The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy for radio and such shows as KYTV, Spitting Image, Saturday Live, Harry Enfield's Television Programme, Ben Elton: The Man From Auntie, Game On, Father Ted, Happiness, The Catherine Tate Show and The Fast Show for television.

He also invented the game Mornington Crescent for the BBC Radio 4 show I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue.

A sad loss, indeed.
