Biography

British satirist who could be trusted to trot out a bon mot on many a panel game. He used to edit the Listener and Punch magazines. He wrote over 20 books (including several by the ageing comedian's friend, Robson Books) and had a newspaper column in the Times for over 20 years.

He died of cancer on 19 October 2007, aged 69.

Trivia

He was the father of poker babe Victoria Coren, and toe-curling journo and 'Supersizer' Giles Coren. Still, one out of two isn't bad, is it?

He served as Rector of the University of St Andrews from 1973 to 1976, and was succeeded in the post by Frank Muir.

After his death, it was reported that his estate (before tax) totalled £3.2 million.
