Paul Makin

This may be regarded as off-topic but for those who like sitcoms regardless of the medium I have the sad news that Paul Makin, creator of Nightingales, one of the greatest of TV sitcoms, (and mentioned in some threads here) has died. An obituary can be found here, written by Laurence Marks.
