Default Clive James has died, 80.
Quote:
Clive James, the Australian writer and broadcaster known around the world for his dry wit, has died at the age of 80.

Diagnosed with leukaemia in 2010, the author and critic had movingly written about his terminal illness during the final years of his life.

Born Vivian James in 1939, he moved to England in 1961 and rose to prominence as a literary critic and TV columnist.

He went on to deliver wry commentary on international programming in such shows as Clive James On Television.

The show saw him introduce amusing and off-beat TV clips from around the world, most famously from the Japanese game show Endurance.

A statement on his website confirmed he died at home in Cambridge on Sunday.

I remember his TV show in the 90's, funny man. RIP.

Sad loss.
We loved watching him back in the day. Who could ever forget Margarita Pracatan?
