Met him in the 70s when he was still a DJ Have you gotten over that experience now? Or did it leave a nasty taste in your mouth? He was perfectly fine, I was more interested in Sally James (from TISWAS) who was also there

An old college mate of mine from the 1970’s lived next to NE when he used to do the Sunday morning show. Apparently our little group of students got a mention on the radio but I missed it as I’ve never been a fan.

Somebody died on deal or no deal?? Forgive me for not knowing about this, possibly happened when I was living abroad.

Somebody died on deal or no deal?? Forgive me for not knowing about this, possibly happened when I was living abroad. On his Saturday night show a member of the public died doing a stunt that went horribly wrong. He (and the BBC of course) were villified by the press. Finished him off, until Deal or No Deal resurrected his career somewhat. He probably suffered mentally as well.

Anyway John, in case you haven't figured it out, he is what we call a "National Treasure"
Some treasure is best left unearthed.

He is, allegedly, an entertainer of some sort. You should be wary of repeating false allegations, Geoff...

That's a terrible thing to say, Willie. What has cheese ever done to offend you?

Somebody died on deal or no deal?? Forgive me for not knowing about this, possibly happened when I was living abroad. Happened about 40 years ago. I hadn't heard about it until fairly recently when watching some compilation on YouTube about times people died on live TV.

I remember it happening. The guy was doing a bungee jump and IIRC the bungee cord got entangled around his neck. Also IIRC that itself led to changes in the way bungees were attached for that sort of thing.
