Rip Bamber.
Didn't mind University Challenge - but could never get a question right though.  |

Just heard sad news indeed he was the face of UC regardless of the recent years with Jeremy Paxman. RIP Bamber thanks for your to UC and other TV over the years.  |

RIP, Bamber. A likeable and intelligent host who had more charisma and patience than the current UC host in my opinion.

RIP Bamber, I agree, a likeable and very professional host of a long running and popular series.

A television icon, and a thoroughly decent chap. RIP Bamber Gascoigne

I thought Bamber was a good host on University Challenge. I was amazed to read his tenure on that show ended in 1987.
RIP Bamber

Sad news, I'd have never guessed that Bamber would have been 87 years of age.
He was certainly the face of UC for so many years and who could forget Griff Rhys-Jones caricature of him in The Young Ones?
