I remember him from way back when when we lived in the UK. Lovely, intelligent man. I liked him and what a fantastic name!

He gave me lots of pleasure watching UC. A lovely gentleman I thought.

Sad to say that while Bamber Gascoigne always came over as so charming, having been on University Challenge, I found him quite supercilous and dismissive of our team (from Durham), much preferring to hobnob with the Oxbridge teams

I used to love him on University Challenge. And he had one of the best names on TV as well.

RIP Mr Gascoigne. University Challenge was always best with you at the helm.

Haven’t seen him for a long time so wasn’t imaging him as 87
A good age

Has died, aged 87

Such a genial quizmaster for 25 years and sadly missed when he retired from University Challenge.

Charming, friendly and always calm with the contestants

RIP Bamber Gascoigne
