Very sad news - I saw him appear on TV about a month ago (think it was the news?) and he looked very ill then. Hugely talented guy, naturally funny and more importantly he seems like a genuinely nice person. The world will be a poorer place without him in it.

That's a great shame. I came across a series of 10-minute opinion pieces he did for Radio 4, the other day (still available from the beeb here) and I'd forgotten what a great writer and broadcaster he was.

 Having seen someone die from cancer close up it's horrible for anyone to go that way. Great man. _________________Still the official cheeky one

He's only 72?  I remember watching him when I was younger and he seemed "old" back then... All the best to him.
