Well, there’s one the North Americans won’t get.

Didn’t realise [he was will](http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7217342.stm) or that he was such a prolific charity fund raiser.

Never really liked his TV persona, but I belong to the QI club and apparently he was a fantastic trivia host. I missed him a couple of times presenting a quiz, which was a shame.

Ah well, RIP.
