Actor and comedian John Bird has died aged 86, his representatives have confirmed.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-64108691?at_campaign=KARANGA&at_medium=RSS

Bird was part of the TV satire boom of the 1960s, and well known for his many appearances opposite John Fortune.

The pair memorably appeared alongside Rory Bremner in the Channel 4 TV series Bremner, Bird and Fortune.

Co-star Bremner led the tributes to Bird, telling the BBC his former co-star "had this brilliant instinct for absurdity, and the sharpest of minds".

"He was so modest, for someone who so often played these characters who were so complacent and self-aggrandising," Bremner told Radio 4's The World at One.

"He was at the forefront of the satire boom... he had the most wonderful of minds and was the most modest of people, he was amazing."
