Walker570 Posted January 28, 2020 Report Share Posted January 28, 2020 He had a good life and brought some fun to many peoples lives. As said, like Humph and 'I haven't a clue' he would be irreplaceable really even though they have tried very hard . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moondoggy Posted January 28, 2020 Report Share Posted January 28, 2020 He seemed a very nice chap. One of the last things I remember him doing was a programme about Marie Antoinette’s watch made by Breguet. If you haven’t seen it, it is well worth viewing.

Sussexboy Posted January 28, 2020 Report Share Posted January 28, 2020 I had the pleasure of sitting at the next table to him in a restaurant some years ago. He could tell stories all night. Another good one gone 😞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redial Posted January 28, 2020 Report Share Posted January 28, 2020 A gent, always smartly dressed and my family used to look forward to 'Sale of the Century.' I have some recollection of him in a shooting related photo. Thanks for the memories Nickolas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted January 29, 2020 Report Share Posted January 29, 2020 (edited) Very funny and clever, one of the old school greats. Good age too 96. Just read he was planning the next just a minute program when he died, that's some dedication at his age. Obviously lived and lived his work. Rest of us long for retirement. Think we will see more old favourites go as they're all old men now. Edited January 29, 2020 by figgy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
