An incredibly talented man, whose appeal lasted for so very long. After Melly and Humph, few of the true eccentrics are now left; more's the pity.

They played several excerpts of his Quiz Game on the radio this morning and I was still chuckling an hour or so later.  None of us are immortal, but you'd wish it for someone like him.  Something about the "38B's" - I couldn't even begin to tell the joke, let alone get the timing right. You'll all be happy to know that I pee'd at the adjacent urinal to Humph some 40 yrs ago at a pub in London.  Memories! A sad passing, but in a way not.  He was still playing, as recently as last week.  A repeat broadcast at 12.00 GMT on R4 tomorrow (Sun).    Report

There is a game going on at the moment on Digital Spy,  Radio section,  a tribute both to the idea and to the degree of seriousness with which listeners take the whole thing. http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=786246 Samantha has to slip out for a while,   she's agreed to go out with some fishermen on their boat and learn a few tricks of the trade.   She's particularly looking forward to helping to toss the buoys over the side of the boat.    Report
