  • Sad to hear another cast member has died. I only remember him from his late 60s appearances. I have not watched the show in decades, so didn't know he had come back. RIP

  • Such a shock that Pope Francis has passed away just one day after his Easter message and blessing babies. I thought it was a sign that his health had improved. Well, he always seemed a very decent and caring man to me, and he did his duty to the very end. May he rest in peace.

  • I had not heard of her passing and it has shocked me. I was listening to some of her songs only a few days ago and wondering what she was up to now.

  • Very sad news. I mostly remember him from his newsreading and stints filling in for others. He wasn't one of the big stars of R2 like Terry Wogan or Jimmy Young, but was solidly dependable, versatile, and, yes, indeed, had that rich, soothing voice. He was a portion of the glue that kept the station...

    I can't say that Easter was a particular highlight of my year growing up. Sure, I enjoyed the time off school and the chocolate, but for me it came a pretty poor 4th after Christmas, my birthday and Summer holiday at the seaside. The only time I heard mention of the Easter Bunny was in US cartoons and...
