Comedian and presenter Tom O'Connor has died aged 81

Yes Crosswits was a Staple of 925am back in the day, the perfect slot for a gentle mind game.

As for The Zodiac Game... :evil: :evil: let's say that's best left in the 80s with the likes of Ultra Quiz!

Rest gently Tom

The theme tune from the afore-mentioned Zodiac Game is something else. I think this may have been the replacement for The Sale of the Century and it tanked somewhat.

People remember Name That Tune, but maybe forget that it was originally the middle segment of London Night Out, which was a midweek variety show he hosted from 1978 to 1981

Remember when Tom O'Connor did The X Factor? (start from 24:00 if you want to get to the actual show)

Nice comment on Twitter from Greg Scott to the effect that when Tom was a guest on Countdown, Greg (the audience warm up) effectively got the day off

RIP Tom. I used to enjoy Crosswits and I vaguely remember The Zodiac Game.

A very under-rated comic in my opinion probably because many people thought of him as a game show host. RIP
