Says it all, really.
Clement Freud R.I.P.
I know, it's terrible. I wonder how Nicholas Parsons and Paul Merton are taking it all?
Very sad news this morning.
A great human being who will be sadly missed by all.
RIP
A great man, and still one of the best on JAM.
RIP
Sad news this. I loved his semi-dour style and he never really showed any chinks in that armour.
Quite often forgotten that he was a forerunner to Jamie, Delia, Gordon et al.
He will be sorely pissed.
A Freud Not.
Can't say I was aware of his other stuff, but I enjoyed him greatly on Just A Minute.
I missed this news. and now I miss him

Likewise, loved him on Just A Minute. (Irrelevant JAM aside: I'm currently reading Derek Nimmo's book Not in Front of the Servants, which is quite fun). I always enjoyed the bit in Derek & Clive's Ad Nauseum sketch 'Politics', where Peter Cook opines that the Liberal Party would get more votes if Clement Freud had flowers up his arse.
I was really sad to hear this this morning. He was very funny on JAM and a great personality.
RIP

Me too. I woke up to soundbites from JAM on the radio and wondered what that was all about. Then they said.

This got me confused for a second, trying to recall his appearences in the Chirs Morris sketch show.
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
Ahem. Now that's sorted out, he was great, sad news.
