No longer "Live from Norwich..."

Nicholas Parsons has died. Growing up, I knew him from this (and wow, what a Proustian rush from the Anglia TV knight):

God, game shows used to be crap, didn't they? (Still are, some might say.)

But in later years, it was Just A Minute that endeared Nicholas to me, and millions of others. The perfect straight-man host, always willing to tee up the laugh for others to take.

A decent bloke too, by all accounts. RIP.
