British Broadcaster, Politician and Comedian Sir Clement Freud has died at the age of 84. My Mother was very surprised that he was just 84, because she remembers him looking old when she was young and growing up back in the UK. I remember Sir Clement because of my Grandmother's love for BBC quiz/comedy radio shows, namely 'Just A Minute.'
Basically, the point of 'Just A Minute' was to speak on a subject for one minute without hesitation, deviation or repetition. The other players had buzzers and could challenge you on any one of these points whenever they liked- a successful challenge would win them the subject and, of course, a point. Sir Clement was a top-notch player of the game, who could also be extremely funny in a very understated way.
All in all: very cool, funny guy- in a very British type of way. He will be missed.
