I saw one social media post describe his persona as 'evil' which was rubbish. He wasn't evil at all, but he was great at disdain and amazement when a contestant got a question wrong that he felt was straightforward.
"What is the capital city of England?"
"Edinburgh"
"Edinburgh? How can it be Edinburgh?! You thick get."
(Or words to that effect)

R.I.P me oul mucker, as I said on another thread I appeared on 15 to 1 three times, lovely bloke, came around and chatted with everyone before the show, when you consider they shot three shows per day that's making small talk with 45 people every day

Louis Barfe has a great thread on Twitter on how WGS got paid £25,000 a season to not produce Family Fortunes. Click through for thread.

It's almost certainly not me you're thinking of Derek but I did win 5 editions of 15-1 and appeared in one grand final (one of the ones that was won by the airline pilot Nick Terry) so I met William G Stewart several times. Smashing with the contestants both before and after and a fund of off camera anecdotes about his years on TV. I've done several quiz shows and 15-1 was far and away the most enjoyable. They really looked after you.
