Yeah, he's been around for ever, hasn't he, and has always been, well, old (I'm 33, so have probably been aware of him for about 25 years. He's never seemed less than about 70 to me, even then. Surprisingly, he was only 2 years older than my dad)

Magnus Magnusson's voice is one of my very favourite things ever.

(xpost, that's Magnus ver Magnusson. I've met him!)
