Former University Challenge presenter and author Bamber Gascoigne has died aged 87, his representatives have confirmed.

Gascoigne was the original presenter of the quiz show from 1962 to 1987.

He also inherited Grange Park Opera in Surrey from his aunt, the Duchess of Roxburghe, in 2014.

Gascoigne died at his home in Richmond after a short illness and is survived by his wife Christina, who he was married to for more than 50 years.
 
I had no idea where he lived, but Richmond absolutely would have been right at the top of my guess list.
