Just heard that Linda Smith of R4 The News Quiz has passed away due to cancer.
It won`t be the same without her.
I consider myself an optimist, albeit an optimist with cynical tendencies and a dark side that Lucifer himself would find a little creepy. (Perhaps you've noticed.) You don't normally associate cynicism with an upbeat pov. But I have exactly that combination and will defend it.
very sad news - RIP Linda.
A clever witty woman who held her own on Just a Minute
a sad loss :(

She often made me laugh aloud in the car on a dreary journey home from work with her regular Radio 4 slots...a really sad loss... :(
For me, she was quite simply the funniest woman ever.

Yes - really sad to hear the news yesterday.
Really sad, I had no idea she was ill either.

Heard Jenny Eclair being interviewed about Linda - she apparently was ill for 3-4 years but chose to keep it quiet apart from the few close friends who knew all along. Very proud woman Jenny said. A real shame.
That`s really really sad. I thought she was brilliantly funny :(
Cheers
