Think Going For Gold was a quiz show of his.

Going for Gold. The hugely confusing pan-European quiz.

I was stood browsing in Harrods (yes I know) c 1981 and heard this shrill Irish voice chatting in an animated fashion to a sales assistant and noticed a diminutive little chappie ordering all sorts of gear for the very smart lady he was with. I suddenly realised it was Henry Kelly. I just purchased a Harrods carrier bag. RIP Henry.

Always imagined him to be much older. Would have only been about 41 when Going for gold first aired - part of a must see post lunch combo along with Neighbours, for anyone off school ill.
