Telegraph obituary here. No consolation at all, but if, despite my unbelief, there’s a heaven and hell, I just hope he and Linda Smith got to the same place.
UPDATE: a delicious memoir from Michael Bywater here. From it here is Coren on adultery:
“I would never have an affair,” he said, “because I wouldn’t want my children to have for their mother the sort of woman who would be married to a man who would cheat on her.”

Sad news, but a lifetime of droll writing and performing is not a bad legacy. I hope Brian Perkins reads some kind of tribute on air.
Radio 4 continuing into the afterlife? Hmm. Much as I like it, not sure I want that.

There will be a News Quiz tribute to Coren next week, on Friday at 18:30 UK time. Afterwards for a week, it will be streamed at this link (until then, the link will play last week’s News Quiz).
