A sad loss in television. Loved watching blockbusters with my grandad. I know he suffered a stroke some time ago. He died peacefully in his sleep. R.I.P to a gameshow host legend :)

No idea if he played the sax,but he definitely didnt play it on Gerry Raffertys Baker street. That was just an urban myth. ;)

i believe he played a little as an amateur,  but definitely not on baker street (i think offhand , raphael ravenscroft did that , as well as the love theme from bladerunner,  )
