I thought they were talking about the guy who did the commentary in Gladiators when I heard that on the radio earlier, then I thought how the **** do I remember the name of the guy who did the commentary in Gladiators? It was about 25 years ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted November 9, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted November 9, 2020 Trebek had pancreatic cancer. One of the absolute worst of a family of hideous diseases. Did well to last as long as he did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAuthority Posted November 9, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted November 9, 2020 Not quite sure who to compare him to in the UK. Genuinely seemed like a great human and the nightly 6pm show was something families often watched together. (Including grandparents, kids etc.) I know we did. His last taping was Oct 29th and will be aired on Christmas day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first request of the person that supplies this was jeopardy. I watch and enjoy it regularly. Zero chaff, highly intelligent with a little pop culture. Love it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Yeah, my wife and I watch it a lot as well. Great for some fairly mindless entertainment over dinner or whatever, and I have to agree that he came across as a very nice guy. There are plenty of old episodes available on Netflix for anyone interested in watching it/reminiscing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted November 13, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted November 13, 2020 Was amazed to just see that Wearside Jack who tried to throw the police off the scent with hoax calls and letters was arrested in 2005 after a cold case review identified DNA on a fragment of letter. Served 4 years. Not sure how I missed that before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted November 13, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted November 13, 2020 One of the most botched police investigations in history surely. They interviewed him, in the various sweeps of potential suspects, about 10 times IIRC, and even had a guy that knew him twice tell them 'you need to investigate this guy I know I'm sure he's the Ripper', and they still only got him by accident. There's some really bizarre details behind his crimes as well. Wearing a jumper upside down under his trousers so he could toss off over the bodies without stripping. He also didn't really have the 'frenzied' period that many serial killers have which is usually the point at which they get caught, he just kept going attacking and killing at pace for years.
