Caroline Aherne

very sad, used too love the character of the young mum in the fast show, she wouldn't say who the father of her baby was because "it's not fair to grass on your headmaster"

BBC 1 showing Mrs Merton tonight I've just noticed
 
R.I.P. Caroline

Can only echo the sentiments of others who declare she was a talented and funny artist.

Married to Hooky from New Order for a while too.

The Royle Family is genius.

Mrs Merton though is hilarious, fantastic character.

Always remember when she asked George Best "if you hadn't run around so much playing all that football, would you have been as thirsty"!!!!

Again, genius!!

Again, R.I.P.
 
I loved her Fast Show characters, especially the check out girl.

"Ah, free range eggs! They're like normal eggs aren't they? But with a little bit of shit on."
 
I'm not particularly one for mourning celebrities whom I have never met but I must admit to being genuinely saddened by this news.
She was a great writer.
It's as simple as that.
If the Royle Family were written as a stage play, people would have been making comparisons with Beckett and Osborne.

My favourite line of hers is indicative of what was clearly a very generous spirit, insomuch as she was forever sharing her best lines with others...
It was Nana who said it when confronted by the horror of finding out that Anthony's girlfriend was a vegetarian...

"What about wafer thin ham? Could she eat wafer thin ham..?"
 
Paula Fisch, scorchio, and shut up Roy. Check out girl and Lisa stansfield fan, she'll be missed. 52 is no age. RIP.
 
Very sad news indeed, watched a couple of episodes of the Royle Family tonight, true genius, R.I.P
