By Kirsty OUP-UK
All of us here at OUP-UK were saddened to hear of Ned Sherrin’s death on October 1, from throat cancer, at the age of 76. He was familiar to virtually everyone in the country as the presenter of the Radio 4 programme Loose Ends, but during his many years in showbusiness he was also a theatre director, film producer, restaurant critic, and brought us the early 1960s revolutionary satirical television series That Was The Week That Was.
Ned was also a writer and, among his many publications, he compiled three editions of The Oxford Dictionary of Humorous Quotations (first published in 1995, with the most recent paperback being published in the UK last month), as well as two editions of I Wish I’d Said That.
Everyone at OUP sends their condolences and best wishes to Ned’s friends and family. (more…)
