RIP Clive James

RIP mate, loved some of his TV back in the day.

However, I did have him in our family celebrity dead pool for this year. Well done Clive - you 'beat' Stirling Moss, Prince Philip, Kirk Douglas and Sean Connery.

RIP

Watched Mary Beard talking with him (was on television tonight). The humour and wit of the man was still very apparent. Living out his 'spare time' after the diagnosis.

RIP, Clive.

Loved his style and wit.

Dry sense of humor, very bright, Ozzie, maybe an ex barrister (not sure just back from the infamous pub), what's not to like? A great chap, always worth listening to. I'll miss him for sure. Must check on his background tomorrow, I am sure it was interesting! G'd night Clive

Should have been made a Sir if you ask me. Never had a catchphrase either, didn't need one.

You've just contradicted yourself, never had catchphrase yet didn't need one.

How is that a contradiction?

Very sad. His TV shows were legendary.

I remember watching Endurance for the first time and thinking WTF ?

Suicidal Ferret · 28 Nov 2019 at 19:31

Fondly remember his shows in the 80's. Endurance was a highlight.

Another one of the 20th century old-school gone and never to be replaced.
