George it was such an honour working with you and directing your wonderfully funny wicked words and scenarios on the third series of The Windsors. I wish we could have worked together again. Much love, Amanda xx

It was such a joy to work with George. Kind, warm, friendly, funny. We laughed almost every minute of each session. I am shocked and saddened by his death and will forever rue the fact that we didn't have another chance to spend more time writing together. I loved him and miss him. That said, my show never won an award like most of the other shows he's written for so he can go fuck himself. Simon XXX

I first met George on the alternative comedy circuit over thirty years ago , he was then, and remained, the funniest of men, both a brilliant performer and an outstanding comedy writer. George's comedy was never cruel or vicious, his humour celebrated the absurd, frequently undercutting pomposity and vanity , and always full of warmth. Amongst comedy writers, George's ability to pitch an idea for sketch in a writer's room was legendary. No one did it better. I worked with George on The Armstrong and Miller Show, Big Train, Star Stories, Pete v Life and The Winsdors. He was a kind gentle man, an original comedy talent, who spent his career making people laugh. No better way to spend a life. I will miss him.

Dearest George, with your sweet smile and startled giggle, I'm so glad I knew you, with your naughty jokes, your warmth, jollity and general good humour. But to me, you were always at your most interesting when you eschewed lunch in favour of ten lines of cocaine, a bottle of whiskey and your familiar cry "Lets go and fight some f**king Old Ladies!" I will always miss you. xx Harry

We must all unite to fufill George's dream of making Boom Shack-A-Lack an alternative National Anthem. xx

You will be greatly missed, George.

Thank you for setting up this memorial to George. We hope that you find it a positive experience developing the site and that it becomes a place of comfort and inspiration for you to visit whenever you want or need to.

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are. Speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
