Ach, very sad. Like Paxman on University Challenge, he was clearly finding it harder and harder towards the end. I hope he's alright, it'd be a tough one to let go of, I can't imagine a better show to present.

Brilliant series, can't recommend highly enough to anyone who's not encountered it.

Very reminiscent of Sir Patrick Moore presenting his final episodes of The Sky at Night. (Sadly missed).

Shows my age I guess that I only really associate Patrick Moore with GamesMaster.

He continued presenting the Sky At Night for more than a decade after Games Master ended.
