    We need more pundits like Alan Coren these days. Charming, witty and informed. Very urbane.

    Alan Coren was great. A talented, intelligent, funny and witty man. Like Clive James also. Not smug like most people who appear on TV today.

    My desert island book would be the collected works of Alan Coren. One would never tire of his genius.

    The late great Alan Coren on top form. One of the wittiest men of the 20th century.

      If only he had a beautifully witty daughter who is good at cards and presenting stupidly difficult quizzes

    To the much missed Mr C. You’ve got a lovely daughter who’s inherited your wit and charm.

    Proper chat show...Clive's interview with Attenborough and Billy Connolly is a classic!

    "Magnus Snow"? Typical Alan, typical. I miss this guy, really I do. He was truly "A rhinestone as big as the Ritz"

    That headshake at the start is _exactly_ like Victoria's. Uncanny.

      She's inherited many of his mannerism, and much of his way of speaking also.

    Eggs is eggs. Keep them in the fridge.
    (Edwina) Currie was forced to resign as Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Health in December 1988, after she issued a warning about salmonella in British eggs. The statement that "most of the egg production in this country, sadly, is now affected with salmonella" sparked outrage among farmers and egg producers, and caused egg sales in the country to decline rapidly, by 60 percent. The controversy gained her the nickname "Eggwina". Thanks Wikiwotisface.

    Eggwina Currie, a low rent Maggie Thatch wannabe in stark contrast to wonderful Alan Coren.

    Alan Coren. The guy who said Sainsbury's keeps the riff raf out of waitrose. Saying such a thing is scum itself
