I'm reading his autobiography. He was a very well-read man, articulate, creative, expressive. I'd like to have seen him get into presenting history programs, or other interesting documentaries. He was funny, but he had much more to him.

Even today I miss him. In fact. I only watched 'Blankedy Blank' back in the day, to see and hear him.

He called her "bloody stubborn" in the only online piece I can find about this. Same article quoted Peter Cook saying he was about to vote for her for "purely selfish reasons".
