Might have been me. I was amazed - he only died recently (Last year? this year? I know it was in the South-West, which was a nuisance as I lived there for years & could have paid my respects). He wrote nothing for ages, but he did write a very good Holmes & Watson spoof in about 1972. Holmes was John Cleese, Watson was Willie Rushton. They were seen crossing a busy road.

Holmes: What year is it, Watson?
Watson: 1972
Holmes (grimly): We may well be too late.

He also wrote a novel, Harry Bleachbaker, which nobody I've ever met seems to have read.
