Just read the sad news that comedian and variety host Tom O'Connor has died aged 81. He had been suffering from Parkinson's disease for a number of years. RIP Tom.

RIP Tom.
Used to enjoy watching 'Crosswits' in the afternoon, 'keep your wits about you and, just for me, never a cross word'.

Sad, I didn't dislike Tom, I used to sometimes watch Name that Tune. He always seemed a likeable sort of chap. I always associate him with that game show as well. RIP Tom  |

Sad news. Always liked Tom - one of the old school all rounders who could turn their hand to anything in the name of entertainment. Even gameshows.
If I remember he presented "Gambit" -at some point - and also "Name that Tune" (not forgetting Crosswits!)
RIP Tom.

Sad news, he always seemed to be on the box throughout the 80s and 90s.
R.I.P. Tom

RIP Tom O'Connor, yes a good entertainer who could turn his hand to presenting game shows or stand up comedy. I remember a sketch show he was in, also, did seem a decent bloke.
