What a great shame. I'm no academic and 'learning' always bored me to tears but I could listen to him talk all day. He always seemed so enthusiastic and genuinely interesting (shame I didn't have him as a teacher!!)
RIP

A real R.I.P. for a great inspirational man, had all the right ingredients of eccentricity, determination and passion to make him a true archetype of a British scientist.
I was genuinely sad when I heard yesterday.
/as an aside, now we only have Phil Harding and Noddy Holder left and the epic sideburn quotient has drastically dropped

RIP Colin,
He was one the reasons I began studying at the OU.
I always had the misconception that it was a 2 bob university and it's degrees weren't really taken seriously academically.
But then I watched him on TV and saw that he taught at the OU. That convinced me that the OU must be a serious organisation and I began my studies with them.
