Sir Clement Freud, the writer, broadcaster and former Liberal MP, has died, his family announced today.
He died at his desk yesterday at his home in London, nine days short of his 85th birthday.
Freud had a famously varied career which included stints as a politician, chef, restaurateur, food writer, horse racing pundit, children’s writer, and dog food advertiser, but he was perhaps best known as a panellist on Radio 4’s Just a Minute. His lugubrious performances had delighted audiences since the show was first broadcast in 1967.
He was a grandson of the founder of psychoanalysis, Sigmund Freud, brother of the artist Lucian Freud, and father to five children including the PR executive Matthew Freud and the broadcaster Emma Freud.
I always thought him witty and intelligent warm and genuine
Yes rest in peace :)
The thing I remember about him was how much he and his dog looked alike :)

oOh my… I really did not mean it like that :(
He used to do this advert on TV when he did a mindless look like his dog.. I hope someone else remembers that, because I owuld not like to make fun of the dead.

I don’t remember him being a chef :) And he admitted to not like dogs and kicking them :shock: :shock:
I must be of the wrong era as I genuinely have no clue who this man is.
