RIP. Very sad. Only 67. No age nowadays, though if you'd asked me to guess before I saw the news I'd have said he was in his late 50s.

He had the most wonderful anecdotes. I was always spellbound when he told tales.

An Ayrshire lad who never forgot his roots or lost his accent, despite moving away at a very young age.

I'll never forget one time he was being interviewed on national TV and managed to weave into what he was saying the names of all the stops on the Largs (where he was born) to Glasgow railway line, in order, without that being the context of what he was talking about and without it being obvious, unless you knew.

A joker on many levels and a clever guy to boot.

RIP.

Him and Tony Slattery were just everywhere back then, both utterly brilliant, cleaver witty guys.
Now Sessions has passed away and anyone who saw that Mental Health program with Tony Slattery on last year will know he's struggling too.

These guys were massive back in the day and proper talented.
