Sorry to learn that cancer caught up with Alan Coren. I enjoyed his wit and humour.

R.I.P Alan.

Yes, a very funny man and talented man, certainly will be missed.

He'll live on with his son. Actually Giles his son has taken some stick, but he is too very funny. A good dry sense of humour.

I'm not familiar with his work but RIP Alan.

Does his wit and humour rub off on you Mr Incredible?









Edit: if I've picked this up wrong it may appear insensitive.

Re: Times columnist Alan Coren dies aged 69

I loved his stuff on Radio 4's News Quiz. A true talented quick wit with fantastic dry wit and timing. A huge comedic loss. RIP

(If anyone has not heard the News Quiz, then think of HIGNFY but more cutting and close to the wind!)
