Very sad news. He was always rather good on Call My Bluff and various Radio 4 panel games, notably the News Quiz.

Haha, it is true sadly.

I remember him appearing daily in the mid-90s with Bob Holness and Sandi Toksvig on Call My Bluff.

Sad loss.

A tremendously warm, funny, witty, intelligent man.

I'll miss his input into all British media.

Shockingly sad news, 69 is no age to go.

Farewell Alan.

Yes my view of Alan Coren entirely. I loved his column in The Times , always sparkling with wit. He made a great double act with Sandi Toksvig on CMB too.

I'm very shocked to hear that, a top guy.

I echo those thoughts and had wished for the return of Call My Bluff with Alan Coren.

Sad news, my only recollection of him was on Call My Bluff but he was a great panel member.
