Normally I wouldn't mind the loss of a mime, but she seemed rather nice.

She was a lovely girl, and their robot act was pretty incredible. He was better at it than her, but it was a great act.

Geez, I hate mimes more than Peter Pan or Tinker Bell. What an annoying occupation........

It’s strange how someone you only knew in passing, could make you feel so sad when they pass away.
I remember them clearly. I enjoyed their appearances on the tube.

Distraught over this tragic news, the mimes are rioting in France.

Yarnell, who turned up in Mel Brooks' 1987 comedy "Spaceballs" — she was the robot Dot Matrix, whose voice was supplied by Joan Rivers
Wow - I dod not know that. I really thought Joan Rivers was in that costume ;)

Brings back the hell of 70’s TV: too many bad variety shows. S&Y do one classic skit for Carol Burnett and the network decides they can carry a show of their own.
Though the S&Y Hour was just a tad better than the offense to humanity that was Pink Lady & Jeff.
