I was really shocked to hear about it as I didn't know he'd been ill. The last time I saw his face on tv was on Friday night during channel4's usual questions to celebs in the ad break. His line was that he just wanted to be remembered as the first face on channel4. Famous last words.
Peace,
Adam.

I can remember spending long, cold winter afternoons at my grandmother's house in Lincolnshire watching Countdown. There wasn't much else to do.
