Very sad news this, this morning.
I hadn't realised since up to the point of just reading this.
Very sad news is this and John will be very fondly remembered.

Our 1960's and 1970's childhood's would never have been the same without his presence on a Monday and a Thursday...... together with Val and Pete..... and later... Lesley.

It was said today that John always complained that the BBC never paid him a sufficient salary for all he was asked to do, and as regards his various stunts that he had been inadequately insured by the BBC.
He died after a battle with Alzheimer's.
