'Humph'
I had the pleasure of seeing him host IMIHAC last month, and hearing him play at the end.
 One of Britain's national treasures AFAIK. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7367385.stm |

Re: 'Humph'
I really liked "I'm sorry I haven't a clue" and it won't be the same without him. Wonderful man and superb player.

Re: 'Humph'
Just read his obitury on the Guardian website, and noticed it was by George Melly. I guess he must have written it a little while back  They must be getting ready for a great party upstairs  Well as the vanquished charwoman of time begins to shake-n-vac the shagpile of eternity, I've noticed that we've just run out of time... |

I remember listening to the show with my dad when I was a kid. Very funny man, a great loss. |

Re: 'Humph'
In his obituary he had apparently turned down a knighthood
