I liked him in University Challenge. His name stuck in your memory too. RIP.

I remember watching University Challenge in the 70's and if i answered a question as I was only 12 or 13, I would feel dead chuffed lol.

Very sad indeed.

Oh what a shame. May he rest in peace.

I believe he had some connection to the North East but for the life of me I can’t recall what it was.
