  • I didn't know he was a Charlton fan. RIP
  • RIP - a significant proportion of my student years were spent watching 15 to 1. Our pub quiz team (we played a few times in a "locals" pub but had to stop when they got annoyed with us winning) was called "the bastard grandchildren of William G Stewart".
  • RIP - used to watch this whilst at uni and in the summer breaks

    I remember him referencing he was a Charlton fan on one of the shows once. It was actually quite funny. The conversation was about football, he said "I was a Charlton fan, not anymore of course"

    I'm guessing he meant he didn't go to games, but it sort of came across as 'we're shit, I don't follow them anymore'

    Really made me laugh the way he said it
  • One of the cleverest kids in mine and @AFKABartram's year at Bexley Grammar was on 15 to 1. Got ruined and didnt get a single question right. All he got to show for his appearance was £120 travel expenses so he has just confirmed on Facebook!
  • RIP

    Steve Sutherland won 15 to 1.

    Never heard he was a fan before. what's the story?
  • I didn't know he was a Charlton fan. RIP

    I thought he was a Man U from the days of George Best era.

  • Was married to Sally Geeson (Bless this House) when she was 26

    Fair play to you sir!
  • Rest in Peace William G...not only a great presenter, but a producer and director of so many comedies from my early youth.
  • He also worked as a producer on many well known TV shows.
  • 15 to 1 is a great format, there are a lot of excellent quiz formats that have filled afternoon schedules (replicated by Pointless and The Chase at 5:30), when you consider some of the rubbish shown at prime time!
  • I read somewhere that John M Lewis, the BT Engineer that created the 15 to 1 format lived in Fairlawn Avenue in Bexleyheath for many years.
  • RIP William G. 15 to 1 was a great show when he hosted it. No gimmicks and you had to be good to do well. William G also produced many TV. comedies too of course. He came across as very headmasterly on 15 to 1 but was in fact a very warm and friendly chap. A sad loss.
