Bamber Gascoigne RIP

Had a few Bob looking at his estate that he had been looking after the last few years.
The one and only BG
 
RIP


One of my earliest memories is a radio phone in (probably BBC Radio Manchester) where they were discussing Manchester University appearing on UC and gIving intentionally silly answers to questions or something .
Think David Aaronovitch was on the team.
 
I remember him saying his name had been misconstrued with all sorts - Bamboo Gas Stove was my favourite that he cited. RIP Bambi maybe Scumbag College may win now....
 
Completely irreplaceable on University Challenge, Paxman not even close …
Anyone trying to be a clever bastard when I was growing up was told in no uncertain terms to:

Fuck off Bamber Gascoigne…!

A sad loss but he had a good innings ..
 
Why do people keep resurrecting old RIP threads?

I thought Bamber had come back to life with Bob Hoskins for a moment.
