Yes the most memorable quote of that entire war. A credit to the BBC.

Quote:
Former war reporter Martin Bell paid tribute to a "quiet, decent man" who was "very thorough and very good at his job".

Without a doubt, a legendary reporter - except whenever I hear his name I always think of The Day Today with their take on his name...
Peter O'Hanraha-hanrahan reports from Brussels

No comparison with the real thing, of course, but funny all the same!
:lol:
