RIP Clement Freud

[Hazel at the Hill]

I'll add my condolences too - oddly, at junior school we had a 'talent show' and my 'turn' was to do a 'my name is Clement Freud and this is my dog, Henry'. I don't remember seeing the adverts, but apparently my impression was very good.

I might have heard more of him if I could stand Just a Minute - but the chairman does me head in!

I'd love to be keener on Nicholas Parsons, but he seems to be unable to speak in a normal fashion after so many years in the chair of JAM, so he gets on my nerves too...

I loved his voice, I shall miss him too!

Any you tubes clips out there??

Wonderful man humour as dry as a "London Gin". RIP

I saw some clips of him on the news last night, and realised I had heard of him, and heard/read some things he'd done.

Showed a clip of a dog food advert he'd done back when TV was 2-tone. Hilarious. Overenthusiastic belly laugh.

A really good entertainer, yes, he'll be missed. RIP Clement

Was chatting with a colleague about him earlier today and he said that Sir Clement had organised a get-together to celebrate his birthday, and that he'd, well, here's what was said:

..."It was only a few days ago that Wilson received his invitation to Freud's 85th birthday party, a supper for 15 that had been planned for next Friday.It read: “This is to remind you of the time, date and location - although it may be wise to keep an eye on the obituary column.” ...

Spooky.

That's the kind of line I loved from the man.
