“In memory of our friend Bobby Ball,” was shown on-screen alongside a snap of the legendary comic.
And it didn’t take long for BBC viewers to weigh in with their thoughts on the episode, with a number left reaching for the tissues.
Taking to Twitter, one said: “Saw Bobby Ball on #notgoingout last night, very very sad at his death from COVID he is such a loss to us all. Rock On Bobbie!”
“Watching the inimitable and funny Bobby Ball in the #notgoingout Xmas special. Already much missed,” echoed a second.
