[News] RIP Henry Kelly

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Henry Kelly was gold.
I have such fond memories of Going for Gold. Used to watch it as a student regularly. It was banal but such fun, and what a delivery from the host.
"Let's play four in a row", "it's the Beat the Buzzer round", and so on.

f*** me.

If I didn't have a good reason for being thankful I did my PhD in Canada, I do now.

Edit, sadly this little gem came along after I'd left for blighty.

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Going For Gold Irish presenter Henry Kelly has died at the age of 78.

Who can ever forget Lars from Sweden battling it out with Ruud from the Netherlands in the late eighties on BBC1 just after the first airing of Neighbours? They don't make programmes like that anymore.

RIP Henry.

Blimey thought he was dead years ago. He was old in my youth and I'm 57

No-one has ever been able to pronounce Gee-ography as well as Henry did.
