Bamber Gascoigne: Former University Challenge host dies aged 87
Away from quiz shows, he wrote the novel Murgatroyd's Empire in 1972, and later hosted the documentary series The Christians in 1977. He was also part of Victorian Values in 1987 and The Great Moghuls in 1992.
I will remember his finest episode
The less said about his earlier video nasty, the better!
One of the best episodes. The series as a whole was a who's who of English comedy for the next 10 years. French and Saunders, Hale and Pace, Smith and Jones, Lenny Henry. Emma Thompson even makes an appearance as one of the footlights kids, along with Stephen Fry. I don't recall Hugh Laurie getting any time. And more I'm sure I've forgotten. I have the dvds, might be time to revisit. But I wonder how the kids will see it?
I showed it to the son when he was a teen. He was sceptical but loved it. I guess pratfall stupidity transcends generations.

Even if they won't get the political and cultural humour I'm sure CF Jr will find the physical comedy amusing for about 2 minutes. You tube generation đ

The Bambi episode also featured Motorhead as the guest band.
So good.
I love how itâs completely irrelevant to the plot that they appeared. What a great fun show it was.
Just watching that again it looked like Liam Gallagher copied his singing posture from Lemmy

The only thing those two have in common is their names start with L.
I find this post incredibly offensive.

Such a great song. Funny, I always assumed the band was American because of the sound and Brooker's voice sounded American to me
