I was a kid when they were in their heyday.....never really fully understood the humour, but they did have some really funny moments.

The BBC reported he died "with" coronavirus, not "of".
Big difference.
He was 79, not a bad innings.

Wrong. It was the coronavirus that killed him.

"Announcing his death on Sunday afternoon, Brooke-Taylor's agent said in a statement: “It is with great sadness that we announce Tim’s death early today from Covid-19."

If someone can't breathe because their lungs are filled with fluid from a severe case of Covid-19 and they go into respiratory arrest which leads to cardiac arrest, do you say they died because their heart stopped? You're trying to make it sound like he died from slipping on a banana peel and during the autopsy they found evidence of coronavirus.

Yes, we sure don't want people thinking the virus kills !!

Did his agent say all this as well or are you just making this part up yourself? Severe case? Didn't see that reported either.

Anyway, RIP Tim, back to cars.

Ummmm, not sure what you think I'm making up here. This is what his agent is reported as stating;

“It is with great sadness that we announce Tim’s death early today from Covid-19."

I never said he had a severe case but it was severe enough to kill him.
