Late famous people you miss / programmes that aren’t the same without them

[UsedToBeSeventeen]

I know we don’t know them personally so it’s not the same, but for me it’s Jeremy Hardy. The News Quiz just isn’t the same without him.

Terry Wogan
Robin Williams

I loved Jeremy Hardy.
Another vote for Terry Wogan
Victoria Wood

Came in to say Wogan and Victoria Wood

Yes definitely Victoria Wood, a true national treasure

And why do they even bother airing Eurovision without Terry Wogan?

Cilla Black on all those celebrity game shows as a guest

Rik Mayall and Caroline Aherne, both comic geniuses

John Peel on a Saturday morning

Kenny Everett
Terry Wogan and Victoria wood too

Paul Ritter. If they make anymore series of Friday night dinner, it just won't be the same.

Anthony Bourdain. He was just such a cool guy and so passionate about food. His death utterly shocked me.

Robert Hardy ( such gravitas versatile actor)
Richard Harris as Dumbledore, for me, he was the true embodiment of what I had imagined

Yes, Jeremy Hardy from the News Quiz and Linda Smith

@2ManyDicksOnTheDancefloor couldn't agree more.

Bruce Forsyth.

Saturday night tv just isn't the same!

Another vote for Rik Mayall

@custardbear

Kenny Everett Terry Wogan and Victoria wood too

Definitely Kenny Everett, although could you imagine the uproar if he was on now? Cupid Stunt would not go down well!!

Terry Wogan. Such a loss. Still use some of his sayings - younger people in particular look at me as if I’m mad and of course I then say - “As Terry Wogan used to say.” And they give me an even stranger look!

I still miss Terry’s show on Radio 2!

Roger Scott..was a brilliant DJ. .I was so sad when he died.

@Sammysquiz

I still miss Terry’s show on Radio 2!

So do I. The Janet and John stories were hilarious.

@Iminaglasscaseofemotion have to agree about FND unless there was a one-off for the character's funeral.

Agree about Terry Wogan. The other is that I think Countdown should have ended when Richard Whiteley died, or at the latest when Carol Vorderman left.

The Janet and John stories were hilarious.

I used to listen to R2 on the way to work back in the day. I swear I was unfit to drive through laughter when Janet and John went to the garden centre.

"I asked her if she'd like some Old Man's Beard in her Bush".

Filth.

@Fiercestcalm

Robert Hardy ( such gravitas versatile actor) Richard Harris as Dumbledore, for me, he was the true embodiment of what I had imagined

Definitely Richard Harris as Dumbledore. Michael Gambon did a great job of playing the part, but Richard Harris just was Dumbledore.

Loathed Terry Wogan.

Agree re Jeremy Hardy and Linda Smith - just to hear their voices would perk me up! Loved John Peel.

Alan Coren

Jack & Vera in Corrie....it’s never been the same since!
