Robert Fisk was one of the last proper journalists.
There's damn few left. John Pilger is one; and I'm struggling to think of another. Carrie Gracie, perhaps. Mebbe Matt Taibbi.

John Sessions dies of a heart attack at 67. His impressions on the original series of Spitting Image were superb.

Palmer was an all round good egg.
I enjoyed him as the bumbling ex army officer in The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin.
