The British author Tom Sharpe, writer of the 1974 novel Porterhouse Blue, has died aged 85.
Sharpe, who was born in London in 1928, died in the coastal town of Llafranc in north eastern Spain on Thursday, according to the AFP news agency.
His 1975 novel Blott on the Landscape was adapted into a six-part BBC TV series in 1985, starring David Jason.
He also wrote the Wilt series of comedy books, the last of which - The Wilt Inheritance - he penned in 2010.
Porterhouse Blue, published in 1974 told the story of Skullion, the head porter of a fictional Cambridge college Porterhouse.
The story, a satirical look at Cambridge life, was later made into a television series on Channel 4 in 1987.
The son of a Unitarian Minister, Sharpe spent time in the Royal Marines, serving overseas on ships during the 1940s.
