In this article about radio in 2009, mention is made under the RIP section...

R.I.P.

Just a Minute goes on, and it's still wonderful, but from now on there'll be a ghost at the feast. Clement Freud died in April, and a few weeks later Paul Merton, heir to the JaM throne, paid tribute. He recalled the great man's will to win and his penchant for mind games: 10 minutes into Merton's first show, Freud leaned over and whispered: "This is the worst show we've ever done." Freud, who appeared in every series of JaM from its first in 1967, wasn't the only long-serving BBC stalwart to depart: Steve Race and Malcolm Laycock were both broadcasters whose careers were fuelled by their passion for music.
