The word gets bandied around sometimes but she was a true comic genius.
I was really sad when I read about the severe depression she was experiencing but she seemed like a prime candidate for that horrendous affliction. I fell in love with her talent when I saw her doing the check-out girl and the "Scorchio" weather-girl; think that was the fast-show. Hope it dawned on her at some point how much she was admired. RIP. |

It took about 40 comments but eventually we got there, somebody takes it upon themselves to be the centre of attention. Always the same with any R.I.P thread, if can't think of anything positive to say about a good, talented and successful person in death, then don't say anything

I'm saddened to hear that, she was a great talent. I thought Mrs Merton was a terrific programme.
RIP |

I wouldnt post if i didnt find her funny on this fred imo.
She was typically british with her humour, such a shame she cant write no more. Will be missed as the bbc dont take her type anymore. RIP |

'Dave ' was played by Craig Cash. He co- wrote the Royle Family with Caroline. They also had a relationship for two years in the Nineties. |

Very sad news.Had no idea that apparently it seems she had quite a troubled life.I've never watched the royal family,in fact i did not even know that she was in it but i enjoyed watching Mrs Merton,that was very funny. R.I.P Funny Lady.

if a minority of one states the truth- its still the truth
I'm sorry you guys have lost something/ someone which brought fun into your lives. Personally I put her Royale Family work in the same category - no, slightly better than tbf- as 'The Office' - (no, slightly better than tbf)- just peurile unfunny stuff for me If it was Lung cancer its a terrible blight - these days for smokers its a self inflicted injury - when i was in my early 20's i stood in a hospital room with plastic bins full of lungs cut out because of smoking/cancer - I was lucky to get and take on board that life lesson. Hopefully Vaping will be better for all you current smokers ...... |

Ron-Russian 02 Jul 16 16:20 Very funny women, Sad news RIP Sad A Classic Mrs Merton - the one with Bernard Manning!

Now thats witty  |

Genuine question.

Glad you enjoyed it LMFAO. Ron posted the link though.
|
|
By:
Ah, you probably realised that.
I bet you'll watch that again, and again, as I have. |
|
By:
there's 3 links to that show lmfao - i take it you watched the 3.
1/3 2/3 & 3/3 not come across a full length episode of the show for some reason |
|
By:
Id not watched it for a few years until yesterday - still has you in stitches every time
|

By:
@Imfao.Jack hacksaw strangely likes asking people here do they have Aspergers,I'm sure he asked me that ? Last week.
|
|
By:
The reason I asked lmfao was that people affected by Asperger's have a great belief in the importance of the truth. Also, very little comprehension of whether behaviour or comments are appropriate.
It struck me because both of these facets were included in one short posting. In what context did I ask you Culvin? |
|
By:
Jack- how difficult do you find it dealing with your asperger's?
|
|
By:
She was a brilliant writer and comic performer who will be truly missed.
RIP. |

By:
@Jack Hacksaw."People affected by Asbergers have a great belief in the importance of the truth".How crazy is that eh Jack,A belief in the importance of the truth,Dearie me,im so glad that us normalers dont believe in any of that importance of truth nonsense.Remember everybody its all about the lies,the lies will set you FREE!

Such desperately sad news,
Not much older than me. |

I liked her, never seemed the slightest bit full of herself despite her talent. Cancer certainly put her through the mill - four different cancers from the word go, one or two may have been metatastic or maybe none of them were, life can be so unkind.
|
|
By:
Life is unkind FlowerMyth, lost my Mum and Dad to cancer and was the carer to them both in their latter years, a horrible thing to have gone through but you have have to step up to the mark and get on with it and do what you have to do
 |
|
By:
Same for me Slippy, both died from cancer. When you read news like what Caroline Aherne had you know that there's a family there that while not suffering the same kind of pain have their own nightmare to contend with. I was 'lucky' both my parents died in a hospice (10 years apart)- those people are marvelous in so many ways.
|
|
By:
Pity that Caroline had so many doubts about herself in real life.
Strange when you consider how talented she was. Lovely lass. RIP |
|
By:
Loved her as the checkout girl in The Fast Show.

No more 'scorchio' and summer (supposedly) coming. She was clever and funny - and unlucky (4 types of cancer?). Here's a toast to her.

By:
that Bernard Manning came across as a nasty piece of work (if it wasn't scripted that way
she handled that show quite well |
