    Perhaps not the best way to remember him but I always think of this sketch when I think of Gary Rhodes.

        Clive James dead, aged 80:



        Used to loooooove his show in the 80s/90s, remember setting up my brand new New Zealand Story/Batman Amiga while his show was on in the background. A mellower age.

              Clive James on TV was the show I remember which I beleive morphed in to Tarrent on TV. I used to enjoy those shows as a kid. To be honest, I thought Sir Clive had passed years ago.

                He'd been really, really ill for AGES, prob best part of twenty years waiting for death but gee it took its time.

                A great innings for a great man who thought he had no innings left for twenty* years!

                (*it's summat like that, a loooooong time)

                  His show was always a treat...

                  ...maybe until that period when he had "Margarita Pracatan" on EVERY episode!!!

                  Maybe that's why Tarrant took over.

                    Me too, his deadpan delivery was unique. Will be missed. Watched a bit of Outside Source last night in the hotel room whilst travelling with work and you could tell the presenter was a fan. RIP.

                          Super Play was such an awesome magazine. Jason made me a very happy guy back in my teens.

                                I'll always remember it because he sold me Too Human about 2 weeks before it was released, and I was going messages from arl ower on xbox live from total strangers asking me all about it.
