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).

Same as Letter from America with Alastair Cooke https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Letter_from_America
