It was a typically quirky memorialising by Victoria Coren-Mitchell at the end of tonight's Only Connect that alerted me to the death of Chris Stuart which somehow passed me by last month. It does not seem over forty years since I hugged myself over the fun and wit of Baby Grand, in my view an all-too short-lived musical group in the great tradition of Flotsam & Jetsam and the Western Brothers. Chris Stuart moved onwards and upwards and it was years later on the set of Only Connect that I had the briefest of opportunities to meet this charming man. He died too soon. At least there will be archive of his distinctive voice to remember him by.
