In Memorium … Sir Clement Freud

Good Lord.   I was going to post up the teaser round I’d prepared for today, off the bat, but I’ve just had some sad news.

Former Liberal MP, cookery writer, and broadcaster on “Just A Minute”,  Sir Clement Freud has died, last night, at the age of 84.

I’m saddened.

While I didn’t know much about his work as an MP, or his writing, I absolutely loved his appearances on “Just a Minute”, which were always beautifully timed, lugubrious … and drier than a martini in the Sahari.

I’ll miss his appearances, there, and offer my condolences to his family.


In Memoriun

Sir Clement Freud.
24th April, 1924 to 15th April, 2009.
