The man who invented (and first produced) such classic radio shows as Just a Minute and I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue died last Wednesday, aged 68. They don't make 'em like him anymore.  |

The man who invented (and first produced) such classic radio shows as Just a Minute and I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue died last Wednesday, aged 68. They don't make 'em like him anymore. After all the 'Fry' references, Humphrey Littleton, Bill Bailey et al, I was just thinking that we're in danger of running out of inspiring wits, wags and genii who've kept the Home Service (and it's ilk) so addictive over so many years. Paul Merton's another one I dread the loss of. I'm just glad that many of them still are not much older than me, which (though a selfish thought) suggests I've got a lifetime of entertainment from them ahead of me yet. But out of interest, are there any 20-year-olds (say) who'll be able to fill their gap for the next generation? Or has the education system killed off the prospect of a well-developed cadre of raconteurs in the future? Is 'the Art of Conversation' too ponderous a subject, such that all concepts will henceforth be discussed and exchanged via MMS? Yours, vaguely uncertain. |
