RIP Bamber. I once bought a second hand copy of Hamlet that once belonged to you. Apart from your name on the inside cover, thanks for not ruining the book with underlining, notes, crossing outs and doodles.
even today when the credits roll on U C, I still expect to hear .. 'asking the questions .. Bamber Gascoigne' .. although Jezza has been doing the honours for a couple of decades, Bamber was still the U C man most associated .. R I P
Sad news. Like others I still expect to hear his name mentioned. Think he used to write a lot of the questions himself back in the day. Very clever man. RIP
Back in the day, Bamber took a girlfriend to watch a movie. When the lights went down he unzipped his fly and guided the willing participant's hand towards the opening. She gasped and said "is that all you've got". He replied "don't worry, it's your starter for 10". RIP.
He was the egg head Quiz master. His Aunt left him that big house in Richmond that was used in the TV series Ghosts. One man who was always in charge and apparently always at peace in life so RIP should be quite straight forward.

Absolutely put a bunch of privilaged toffs and left wing pseuds in their place every week on University Challenge.
RIP.
Even though I was only a kid and couldn't answer any of the questions, I still loved watching UC.
