Until yesterday I hadn't heard Back In My Childhood Days for years and I suddenly realised why mum loved it so much.

Posted: Sun Sep 02, 2012 6:13 pmOk,I'll say something.
I do not think he was a very pleasant guy.When I heard that he had refused to carry on doing the Christmas morning show from a children's hospital ward unless he was paid,I thought it said all we needed to know.He had it all,but it was not enough.
Like Terry Wogan getting paid to do the Children in Need appeal.People with a lot less than he, out doing good raising money for the charity,while he was back in the studio getting paid.In later years he has given his fee to Children in Need,but only after he was outed.

Posted: Sun Sep 02, 2012 7:42 pmFair enough Bill, fair comment if that's what you reckon. I will say this however, I cannot stand Children In Need, it's an excuse for folk with too much money to indulge themselves in public.
That's me done, this thread was only meant as an R.I.P. post. Ho-Hum.
