A well spoken true gentleman ... 96, that's a good age.

RIP Nicholas

Yes, that's how I remember him too OGF. A well-spoken, well-dressed person and always pleasant too. Unlike a lot today I don't ever recall seeing or hearing a bad word about him.

A damned shame. I used to listen to Just a Minute on R4 regularly - he hosted the show since its inception in 1967. Great fun.

Sad news, a true gentleman who always had a smile on his face.

He will be missed by many.
