I initially became aware of him, his talent and his work through his appearances on QI.
Later, I began to encounter and recognize him elsewhere.
The day after he died, Danny Baker described him as "terrific company and always a true talent" and the team of the show QI praised his "wit and encyclopaedic knowledge that played a part in the show's history."
