Ned Sherrin and now Alan. I will miss both of them so much. Alan was a delight to listen to on The News Quiz, and his trips on a bus with Christopher someone...brilliant!
A sad loss to all those who love words and humour.
I agree, Alan was fantastic on The News Quiz, I think they are having an Alan special next Friday, 6:30.

Sad news and I'll miss him too.
Going back earlier in his career, Punch was never the same/as good after he left. In his hands it was a wonderful magazine, a joy to read.
Personally, he will be very sadly missed.

I agree R4 just will not be the same, a sad loss. :'(
What a shock, I hadn't heard he had died! I thought that he was brilliant, and Giles and Victoria are both fantastic journalists and presenters in their own right - my thoughts go to them at this difficult time

I was really saddeded to hear the news about Alan Coren's death, he was such a wit, and never failed to make me chuckle. Such a clever man with such a way with words, but very warm with it. A sad loss. :( busy_lizzie
