Aussie writer and broadcaster Clive James has died at the age of eighty. Dry sense of humour and in his day a very popular presenter. RIP Clive. Clive James: Australian broadcaster and author dies aged 80 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-50578512
Used to love watching his programmes. The New years eve summary of the year in particular. RIP Clive.
The grim reaper is calling too often. So sad that another one goes, all my lifetime tv buddies are no more.

Did you catch the short clip from his show on breakfast telly this am? Featured a classic Margarita Pracatan performance. Brilliant. I’d forgotten just how good a broadcaster Clive was. Will be sadly missed
