I remember him from the 70s, wonderfully laconic delivery of whatever subject he spoke on, and the poster boy for glasses the shape of television receivers...an old school presence, not unlike Frank Muir, Reginald Bosenquet and Raymond Baxter...

Odd isn't it, that back then we (I was a child of the 60s and a teen in the 70s) had no notion of political correctness, but no problem being understood... Sure, perhaps my lament for the past belongs in the blogs... But yes, respect to a gentleman was part of the glory days of aunty beeb...

I am sorry Arthur, it was me they were after not Dennis .Trolls.
Harbal: And probably still has more life in him than you.
(please note tasteful absence of laughing idiots)
He probably has , considering it was Denis Norden who passed . The family of Denis NORDON have released a statement saying he's still alive & kicking !!

Never heard of the guy, and with an age of 96 he has nothing to complain about. Lot's of people working harder for less salary don't even get old enough to earn their monthly pensioncheque.

I don't think he was complaining. Although there now seems to be some uncertainty about whether or not he is actually dead. If it turns out that he isn't, I don't expect he was too pleased to hear of his demise.
