I was sorry to hear of Alan's passing today, he was a very funny man and a joy to listen to.
He'll be missed by many millions of listeners

Yes, I was sorry to hear this. I had been wondering where he'd been during the current run of News Quiz. |

I know he was very poorly a couple of years ago when he had a severe reaction to an insect bite, he did recover from that.
It's so sad and so soon after dear Ned |

Yeah, when he was poorly last year I went on the R4 messageboards and eventually got a proper report on his condition. This seems to be unrelated and sudden. |

only really knew him from call my bluff but i liked his humour and his raport with sandy(its late so not gonna attempt her last name, it would only send my spellchecker into a frenzy )
he appeared to a real nice guy and would have been a good laugh in a pub i bet. another sad loss. _________________ "Timpani!, Timpani!, They've all got it Timpani!"- All drummers know the pain of skin trouble. |

I think he & Sandi Toksvig were on Radio 4s The News Quiz weren't they? _________________ Lord Evan Elpuss, Your ideal job is a Lumberjack. |

Used to look forward to reading his column in The Times, and bought many of his books (which my brother borrowed and never returned, I am now reminded). He and Sandi were a great double act as team leaders on Call My Bluff.
Sad news indeed. _________________ Ron |
