He was excellent, magic, super.

I can imagine him cruising up to the Pearly Gates in a speedboat...

I once took part in a pub quiz organised by one of the digital TV channels - whichever one it was that showed old episodes of Bullseye. Jim Bowen was the host, so naturally we called our team 'A Top Of The Range Speedboat' just for the joy of hearing him read it out.

He was a good sport about it and happily posed for pics with us.
