So it's goodbye to the great man!
We used to watch University Challenge with a vengeance every week, and try to beat the students with the General Knowledge, and never did, as they always had just one genius who'd answer everything correctly!
One of our favourite TV comedies was 'Moving story', with Warren Clarke as 'Bamber', and on every trip out in the removal van, the chap, 'Adrenalin' who was always trying to sleep was tasked with asking him questions from Trivial Pursuit. One question was 'Who wrote 20,000 leagues under the sea'! Bamber (Warren), waffled as he always did, and just before being told the answer, asked 'How many leagues'?
And the cameramen had to be pretty quick to pan away from any student who mouthed 'F***' when he got an answer wrong...
RIP...

I wish we still produced the likes of him, England would be a better place.
I bet St. Peter is wondering what to ask him at the Pearly Gates.
