Sad news about John Bird. I grew up watching his George Parr sketches with fellow John Fortune. Learned a lot about politics and #comedy from them.

JOHN BIRD was a wonderful satirist, Actor & comedian who enjoyed an extraordinary career across some five decades.

Here he is working with and cracking up his old Cambridge chum John Fortune.

Sad to hear the news today #ripJohnBird - a master of his craft. The link below has one of their finest sketches and could be entirely current thinking in some Tory quarters even today (#JRM) #eaa

Ripped from today's headlines in the 1990's.

RIP John Bird, here taking on the issue of Europe in perhaps his finest hour, the Long Johns sketches with John Fortune from Channel 4's Bremner Bird and Fortune.

#RIPJohnBird - a brilliant comedian and satirist. I'll forever remember with delight the two-hander mock interviews he did with the late John Fortune.
