Clive James has died. He was 80.
The Australia-born writer/broadcast had been diagnosed with leukaemia in 2010, but had continued to work right up to his death.
James was a highly respected writer and critic, who moved to the UK in 1961 and found fame first as a TV columnist and then as a TV presenter, most famously fronting clip shows showing programmes from around the world including the Japanese game show Endurance.
He is the second famous alumnus of the Cambridge Footlights Society whose death was announced today following the news that Jonathan Miller had also died.
