he didn't have a 'good side', in his life.

didn't know how to and, never bothered trying! And then Peg was gone, and it was all straight down hill.

Sad isn't it!?

Major Bloodnok in the Goon Show (written almost entirely by Spike) would often respond - when thanked for some slight / momentary kindness, with ......

"My dear CHAP, it was the LEAST I could do! ........ A quantity I specialise in, don't you know!"

It is to me at least, deliciously funny in it's own right, as it is a very apt truism about life.

BUT Spike wrote it for Sellers.

Milligan was a wonderfully acute observer of us, and an acute writer for performers - just that one catch-phrase proves it.

Spike was Sellers ONLY true friend, and knew him all too well!
