Clement was a funny old player. While he was desperate to win, he seemed to spend half his time trying to subvert the rules with tricky ploys for his own devious amusement.

And I think some spark left the game when DN, CF and KW - all contemporaries of Nic - felt comfortable lambasting, browbeating and ridiculing him.

Today, only Paul takes the mickey out of Nic - and even then only with obvious affection.

Yes he is 90 our Nic and to be honest he is also sounding it as well. I find it difficult to listen to him at times when he slurs his words and sound a bit tipsy. The old days are gone and thats a fact, but I dont get the excitement in listening to the new shows that I do when I listen to the old 70-80 versions. PJ and his one liners are a dream to listen to, KW when he was on form could really push up the heat, but I think we missed a lot due to not being able to see him in action. CF, his ability to find an alternative word was superb, but his latter shows I agree were and are sad to listen too as were those of PJ. The old players knew it was a game, but their drive to win at any cost made it fun. The players today give up easily or dont seem to show any drive to be the best. Although Sue and Tony can be good when they want.
The BBC recently did a TV version and it was really good to see them struggle to find a word or route through the topic and this could give it a new lease of life if we get the likes of Peter Kay, Dawn French etc who are naturally funny.

Maybe they could open up a seat to the public! Now that would be interesting to say the least.
