I remember him 5euros, a very good game show host I thought always jolly. Punchlines, celebrity squares were classics. Very surprised he ended up the way he did, I just assumed that once you've done that many game shows you're set for life. Very sad news. RIP |

Yip, remember him very well for his curly barnet. Celebrity Squares used to do an FA Cup Final for a few years, with players/manager/celebrities in the boxes which which was quite funny. RIP Lenny |

i knew youd come good treb,did lucky ladders in late 80s early 90s,i guess as his hair fell out and the parts dried up so did his face didnt have the face for tv as he got older,watched after they were famous years ago and he was selling sausages out of a van,although on further inspection it seems he was carving out a reasonable career doing after dinner speaking |
