Sadly the old boy passed on this week.
I think Loose Ends (and later Weekending) were what got me listening to R4.
He was old even then, but I was amazed at his vivacity, wit, and general all-encompassing, liberal-minded embrace of ALL things cultural, no matter what their bizarre origin.
He helped liberate a teenage Malx from some of his very many prejudices.
He was a true polymath and good bloke!
RIP, Sir!
