The original host of University Challenge Bamber Gascoigne has died aged 87 after a short illness.
The TV presenter and author passed away at home in Richmond-upon-Thames, west London.
Famously his dedication to University Challenge was so strong he would fact-check all the questions – and even rewrite them if they read poorly.
