Roger was a lovely chap. It was a real privilege to have known him and to have had the benefit of his kindness, tremendous expertise, and excellent wit. ...continued on page 93 as he might have said.

Roger was such a lovely colleague. Working with Roger on "Have I News For You", was a delight as he chuckled his way through the studio record. His laugh was infectious, and he was kind, thoughtful, incredibly reasonable, fiercely intelligent and always patient with the manic intensity of TV. Plus, Roger had the perfect surname for legalling satire.

Thoughts
Roger worked to help so many of us get legally challenging public interest stories over the line, and always with such clarity, wisdom and wit. His Herculean efforts on the Paradise Papers were astonishing. He will be so greatly missed.

Having Roger sitting beside me in the Have I Got News For You gallery gave me complete confidence. He would allow the programme as much leeway as possible so it retained its reputation for being right on the edge. I think he enjoyed being part of a comedy team too! To be described by Michael Crick as ‘the best ever lawyer in this history of broadcast journalism’ is some accolade. I hope he realised how respected and well loved he was. A marvellous colleague.

Roger was one of a kind, and indeed v kind. I well remember on numerous occasions him returning home late, 11pm etc, and me calling him before he even made it from the car to the house. He would always take the call and provide calm, sage and brilliant advice. I also remember during various co-ordinated projects involving international leaks etc, he appeared to be simultaneously advising the entire BBC. His capacity, kindness and wry little chuckles were all brilliant. I'll miss you Roger. Sorry I couldnt make the funeral - but there's a candle alight in my local church. Gail x
