Clive James 80 passed away yesterday slight_frown

He always put a smile on my face

Remember seeing him on tv dancing the jive with Darcey Bussell at the 100 Club, London

His easy humour, very self-effacing 

An Anglophile

He will be sadly missed

Used to love watching his Sunday night shows and reviews of the year when I was a kid.

 

He also did this excellent documentary where he followed Damon Hill (an F1 legend) during the 96/97 season, I'm going to tag @Cleoriff  as this will be right up her pit lane slight_smile

Thanks @Anonymous 

I have seen this before but it was worth watching again. Damon sent condolences when he heard he had died.

Clive was a real petrolhead and was at most F1 races in the 80's and 90's. He used to do a Formula F1 show on ITV when they had the contract to show Formula One.

Also used to narrate the official yearly FIA review.

 

Sadly his love of the sport died in 2002 when Ferrari imposed team orders to allow Schumacher to win, when it was Barichello's race. He vowed never to watch F1 again.
