You could see this coming with his voice weakening over the years. It’s nice that he was able to continue for as long as he did.

My weekly dose of highbrow-ness from the UK:

1. In Our Time

2. University Challenge

I highly recommend the back catalog In Our Time if you want some good brain fodder on an amazingly wide range of subjects.

If you want to add to that list, check out Only Connect on the BBC. Best quiz show for smart people in the world.

Thanks! I watched a few episodes recently and did enjoy how smart everyone was, and the questions too.
