The Passing of Reg Grundy (4 Aug 1923 – 8 May 2016)

The sad news was announced this morning (Australian time), that legendary game show producer and Australian TV icon Reg Grundy passed away at his home in The Bahamas (in the arms of his wife Joy), at the age of 92.

While there is no scheduled broadcast of the funeral service in Australia, there will be another funeral, six months later, that looks exactly like his.

I snickered pretty hard at this. :P
