Ach, very sad. Like Paxman on University Challenge, he was clearly finding it harder and harder towards the end. I hope he's alright, it'd be a tough one to let go of, I can't imagine a better show to present.
Brilliant series, can't recommend highly enough to anyone who's not encountered it.
- GJim 1y ago> he was clearly finding it harder and harder towards the end Very reminiscent of Sir Patrick Moore presenting his final episodes of The Sky at Night. (Sadly missed).
- gadders 1y agoSame as Letter from America with Alastair Cooke https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Letter_from_America https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Letter_from_America

- robin_reala 1y agoShows my age I guess that I only really associate Patrick Moore with GamesMaster.
- AlecSchueler 1y agoHe continued presenting the Sky At Night for more than a decade after Games Master ended.
- geokon 1y agoi wouldnt be surprized if hes been gently pushed out. unfortunately the clarity of his voice has noticeably worsened. listen to a 10+ year old episode and he sounds much clearer as a native speaker its all fine and intelligeable, but for anyone ESL it'd be challenging bc its so much mumbling now
- peterfirefly 1y agoHis voice had started to become a problem about 10 years ago, in my view. He also started finding it harder and harder to keep all the threads of the discussion in his mind and to herd all the experts and steer them towards productive talk. The earlier episodes were almost all great.
- walthamstow 1y agoHis voice is noticeably frail and less full of life in the last 4-5 years of episodes
- StefanBatory 1y agoI'm ESL, I'm Polish native speaker. I had, and I still have a lot of issues with understanding his accent. It's very hard for me to get what he's saying.
- peterfirefly 1y agoTry the older episodes (go back at least a decade).
