    Whenever people are described as a character or eccentric, he's the first person that pops into my head. 

    RIP John

    RIP - getting mixed views on my twitter feed about this.  Completely oblivious to his story, but some people saying his wife can now rest in peace and they don’t want to hear anything from Claire Balding.  What’s the back story?

    RIP. A true entertainer.  There was a terribly sad interview he did on radio a few months agoabout how lonely he was and rarely went out any more since stopping work  A bit of a tear jerker for its honesty from a chap who seemed to be a larger than life, sociable character.  Worth listening to if you can find it as an insider to how many elderly must feel.

    Like many things involving media personalities, it will depend on your opinion of the person involved. Hence the mixed views.

    Eccentric person, sister who met him many times as she owns race horses, said he was a lovely guy off camera and extremely knowlageable.

    he wasn't sacked, a TV company took over the broadcasting rights and he wasn't kept on

    I remember he used to call her 'the ravishing Clare Balding'
