Still sad at Miller's demise and now Clive James has gone. Both very witty men.
Always liked the fact he had a twinkle in his eye whenever he delivered his sarcastic view on the world, sad day in the entertainment world, 3 down and the day's not done yet.Clive James, the Australian-born critic, author, poet and TV host, has died aged 80

This is like transfer deadline day. Imagine if Phillip is the final ‘big money signing’ at 5 to midnight!

Clive James did a TV series in the eighties called "Postcards From,,,,," in which he presented a docu-style travel show about various places. The one on Paris was sublime, funny and very moving, as he had stayed in Paris as a student and obviously adored the place. It's worth checking out on YouTube.
He was the Stephen Fry of his day, tremendously intelligent and witty man, part of the big fringe scene of the early sixties that went on to be big in the theatre and comedy world.
Clive was a poet as well. Recently published a collection of his verse. I like his Japanese Maple.

Sad to hear of Clive James' passing. Used to be a staple of xmas viewing. RIP
After all those promises on that TV program, it appears Winter has come. Dropping like flies.

Not just the oldies either, I've had a stonking bout of man flu for the last couple of weeks. If it lasts much longer I'm putting my hands up for a swift exit too.

These viruses can hang about for yonks. And after a few days you no longer get much sympathy either.Not just the oldies either, I've had a stonking bout of man flu for the last couple of weeks. If it lasts much longer I'm putting my hands up for a swift exit too.
My only tip is a drop of Olbas in a sink of boiling water, get the head down, cover it over with a towel and breathe deeply while dreaming of Everton winning a trophy.
I remember well when essential Sunday night tv - was Clive James television show and Spitting image - RIP
