The Young Ones, Bottom and Blackadder actor's hometown is staging a new comedy event to commemorate his life and legacy, which the star's family has said will be very fitting.
Our reporter Matt Hutchinson meets local people, as well as organiser Anne Lane from The Norbury Theatre, where it's believed he first trod the boards.
The late actor grew up in Droitwich, and went to school in Worcester. He passed away at the age of 56.
