Bobby Ball 1944 - 2020

Really sad to wake up to the news that Bobby Ball has died, one half of the comedy duo Cannon and Ball, They of course became part of the Look-in story in 1981, when they were the latest comedy talent to be turned into a picture strip, drawn by Bill Titcombe.  condolences to Tommy and everyone who knew Bobby.
