^ I was going to post that :)

I wonder what his last words were? (Obvious setup is obvious).

I didn't think he was 92. R.i.p.

This was exactly my first thought on hearing this. 92 though. Blimey.

That was my first thought. What a great sport he was.

I remember him most for Give Us A Clue. 92 is a good innings though, RIP.

Well now I feel like an idiot. I’d always thought the ISIHAC segments were done with much affection but apparently Blair hated it, and hated Lyttelton too.

…when Humph died, he was approached for a comment. He replied "You should only speak good of the dead. He's dead. Good."
It doesn’t feel quite so funny now :(
