R.I.P. Dermot Murnaghan

I would just like to pay a brief tribute to Dermot Murnaghan who passed away last week. I was lucky enough to share a studio with Dermot 4 times, once in Eggheads, and three times in series two of “Are You An Egghead?” The nature of the beast when you’re a contestant in a quiz show is that there’s never a huge amount of time for you to talk to the host off camera, but on each occasion when I did get to chat a bit with him he struck me as a very nice, thoroughly decent gentleman, who did not take himself or the games too seriously.  

Rest in peace, sir.
