@russty_russ Christopher Lillicrap. I remember him chiefly from his Thames Television show Flicks (which had Rainbow’s Rod Burton singing the theme) though he also made occasional appearances on Rainbow too.
You were either WOS or Grandstand. I was always Grandstand. For some reason, they always called football soccer on WOS.

@russty_russ Used to love that, even though I had no idea what they were on about
Radio Exec @PaulChantler has been my friend for over 30 years too. We shared so many great times, not to mention oriental banquets! He did so much for me along with thousands of others in showbusiness. We say farewell on Friday; RIP my talented, too generous friend.
