After all these years, when the music plays for University Challenge, I stiil expect the announcer to say the questions will be asked by Bamber Gascogne.

[Dodgin]

I found he seemed to come across as the nicest of very posh guys, certainly had the background. RIP

"Your starter for 10"
"I've started so I'll finish"

He was more aloof, Paxman can be scathing at some of the things they come out with sometimes.

Mind you seeing Paxman lately (I KNOW HE HAS PARKINSONS) he is in danger of slipping away soon. Sadly very slurred

As Billy Connelly said, that Parkinson has a lot to answer for

Is that so, I didn't know. That's sad - I rather like his cutting remarks and amusing inability to pronounce anything in German.
