Without Spike, no Python, Izzard and countless others. Genius is a term too easily bandied, but it applies here. A great British writer born in India, who reinvented Brit comedy. Discuss.

Absolutely. Everything we associate today with the "British" sense of humour mostly came from Spike: he first gave us that particular view of the world that made the absurd seem perfectly normal and the normal completely absurd.
British comedy in the latter half of the 20th century owed him everything.
