Bill Dare Dies at 64 After Overseas Accident
Bill Dare, a renowned comedy writer and producer known for his work on the satirical puppet show 'Spitting Image,' has died after an accident overseas at the age of 64. Dare, who also created the radio impressions show 'Dead Ringers' and produced 'The Now Show' on BBC Radio 4, was highly regarded for his instinctive comedic talent and dedication to satire. His agent, JFL Agency, confirmed his passing and expressed deep sorrow, extending condolences to his family, including his wife Lucy and daughter Rebecca. Tributes from his colleagues, including Julia McKenzie, comedy commissioner for Radio 4, and Richard Morris from BBC Studios Audio, highlighted his significant impact on comedy and his dry wit and focus in the production booth. Dare, the son of actor Peter Jones, was remembered as a 'comedy obsessive' who left a lasting mark on the industry. His tragic death has left a profound void in the world of comedy and among his friends and colleagues.
