But who were those men? Posted Fri May 26 07:13:49 BST 2000 by Jon

Neil Shand. Geoff Atkinson. Colin Bostock-Smith....

We've all seen at least one sketch by them, either on stuff like 'The Two Ronnies', 'Not The Nine O'Clock News', 'Spitting Image', or on lesser work like Russ Abbott, Roland Rat, Paul Daniels....

But who were they? Where are they now?

Hi Jon! Been away for a few days, so...here goes. Bostock-Smith continues to write Clive James links (you know - usually those sub-Have I Got News stills used for headlines - his son Adam seems to be getting additional material credits here there and everywhere). Atkinson is now either in charge of or producer for Vera Productions (who make Rory Bremner/Mark Thomas/Alistair McGowan - Hmmmmm). Shand still does bits and pieces - last thing I remember for sure was he used to be credited as co-scripting Jim Davidson's last ITV series (well, that's what the Radio Times used to say - what a comedown after writing for DAve Allen and Spike Milligan).
