Sadly passed away. Aged only 52, contributed humongously towards British comedy and I was and still am a massive fan of The Royle Family.

RIP

Gone way way too early.

Scorchio - that was her right, sad, Reportedly had various 'Issues' over the years, bit of a genius on the sly.

Not being sexist but the only woman on tv who ever makes me laugh

Caroline Aherne was deffo the funniest and most talented among women comedians, but also rated French & Saunders (and Lumley in AbFab), Vickie Wood (also RIP) and Catherine Tate. Holly from Red Dwarf was great. From the Americans Tiny Fey's made me laugh a few times.

The problem nowadays is identity politics, and in comedy this translates to identity comedy, where most women will focus their routine on their gender, politicising it. It's boring, mostly. Men get to do their comedy about anything they like, so ironically these feminist funsters are causing the very problem they claim to be fighting against (*waves at Caitlin Moran*).

Massive talent was Caroline, hope she'll inspire a new wave of women in comedy.
