Revered British astronomer, writer, and broadcaster Sir Patrick Moore has died, aged 89. As the BBC reports, Sir Moore passed away peacefully yesterday at his home in England.
Sir Moore was one of Great Britain's most recognizable personalities. He had a glittering career as a writer and broadcaster of astronomy, most famously presenting BBC mainstay The Sky at Night for over half a century. Yet Sir Moore wasn't afraid to present himself unseriously, as British gamers who grew up in the 1990s will undoubtedly remember.
As the face, or more specifically the cyborg head of GamesMaster, Sir Moore was an integral part of one of the few successful video game shows TV can boast. Although his stint on GamesMaster was likely only a minor sideline in his incredible life, this tribute video by Big Daddy D shows just how memorable it was.
