There's no future in England's dreaming
Pretty much that.
But also. No amount of googling has helped me. I'm sure he dropped a vase or something, smashing it, on some antiques type programme while coked up? I'm sure I haven't made this up. Probably. I've always held him in high esteem for this. Anyone else remember that?

The interviews he did with Hadley Freeman were interesting

Tony Slattery: ‘I had a very happy time until I went slightly barmy’
His appearances on Whose Line Is It Anyway? made him a major comedy and improv star in the 90s, but then his life fell apart. He talks about love, addiction, bipolar disorder and a long-buried secret
Tony Slattery: 'This terrible thing still weighs on me. Why, after all this time?'
When the actor and comedian was interviewed by the Guardian a year ago, there was an outpouring of love. It led to his new documentary, exploring the link between mental health and childhood abuse

Wow. Those interviews are quite vulnerable and raw and warts and all. On the one hand, quite brave of him to be so open, on the other, just goes to show how unresolved childhood issues are never surmounted, they always haunt you.The interviews he did with Hadley Freeman were interesting

He was on telly all the time in the 80s and early 90s, and then suddenly disappeared. It's really sad that he was dealing with mental health issues and addiction/alcoholism. He always came across as so confident and engaging and fun - just shows that you can never tell what a person is going through. I feel very sad about him.
