Title: Re: Mike Reid dies Post by: Indestructable on July 29, 2007, 08:05:35 PM He will probably be rembered for his Eastenders role of late, but he was a great stand up comedian and I used to love watching Runaround many years ago. Very sad news. :(

Title: Re: Mike Reid dies Post by: bobby1 on July 29, 2007, 11:26:40 PM not only a very funny man but in my opinion a very underrated actor too, a terrible shame.

Title: Re: Mike Reid dies Post by: JungleCat03 on July 30, 2007, 02:43:58 AM Apart from eastenders I remember him playing a comic role in minder as a hard man like terry who was strangely obsessed with fine dining and haute cuisine. He was very funny in that.
RIP Top man Title: Re: Mike Reid dies Post by: reenot on July 30, 2007, 08:08:51 AM I too remember him from Runaround but whenever he came on telly my Nan would say ooo what a horrible man!! I think this had something to do with when he sacked her from her job as a barmaid at The Ruskin Arms in East Ham.
R.I.P Title: Re: Mike Reid dies Post by: Snatiramas on July 30, 2007, 11:42:15 AM Let's be honest he was a scary childrens presenter.............I mean if I was 11 and he yelled runaround at me.....well I would have out of fear
Thoroughly enjoyed him in enders tho RIP Title: Re: Mike Reid dies Post by: dealerFROMhell on July 30, 2007, 05:44:53 PM I advise everyone reading this to go and buy his auto-biography. It's called "T'riffic". Hilarious.
This guy was no angel when he was a nipper, what a little rascal! Really good insight into the mind of one of the funniest comedians/comedy actors to come outo of Britain. R.I.P Mike Reid Title: Re: Mike Reid dies Post by: RED-DOG on July 30, 2007, 06:24:40 PM I remember when he first came on the scene in the 70s along with Bernard Manning and Frank Carson in "The Comedians"
