from Alexei Sayle's website
Mother Nature wasn't too kind to our hero as time went by - and Alexei went totally bald and grew a beard - looking more like famous Observer columnist Alan Brien than the cutting-edge comedy giant he once was. And sadly, he was no longer able to fit into his trademark mohair suit.
Harold Nicholson
There was a photograph of Nicholson at Long Crichel House and I remember Alan saying he was one of the best looking men of his generation.
From Joyce, on Alan, after her 90th birthday
"So different to most people. Nicer than most men. My little brother."
