Geoffrey Perkins tribute to feature in British Comedy Awards show
This year’s British Comedy Awards on ITV1 will feature a tribute to the late comedy producer, writer and performer Geoffrey Perkins.
Perkins, who died on August 29, worked on some of the most popular comedies from the past three decades, including I’m Sorry I Haven’t a Clue, Spitting Image, The Fast Show and Have I Got News for You.
