Masterpiece Theatre has never been the same without him. Wonder if he was as wonderful in person as he was on screen? He seemed like the perfect British gentleman.

I actually started to cry when I saw about his death on the news tonight. He was absolutely wonderful.

I happened to see him on the street about 10 years ago. He was dapperly dressed, and quite tall, something I never would have realized since on tv I he was always sitting down.

Alistair Cooke and Alistair Cookie, rip.

My fondest memories are of his hosting of Omnibus on CBS on fifties Sunday afternoons. What a wonderful person.
