Didn't someone suggest in a thread here some months back that some seriously interesting stuff would come out but not until after he'd popped his clogs...?
Yes they did. Will have to wait and see what happens. He was always good value as an eccentric personality though.
Despite the unfounded internet slurs against Jimmy that have gone around for many years, I still think he was a great character, bizarre but entertaining. I'm sure all the people he helped with his many, many millions raised in charity, would also think so.
I will always think of him on early TOTPs, with half of his hair white, the other half black.
(I found out by logging on to the Daily Mail site 20 minutes ago, then on Sky News. BBC have only just reported it, but I believe Sky often rush in and have killed off people prematurely before, so the BBC prefer to get absolute confirmation first.)

Oh I think there are far bigger things than worms in this particular can.
I wrote to him asking to meet David Soul. Why? God knows.
A girl from my school went on with her sister and they did a kids' version of The Generation Game.
Awww bless
And The Chair
I'd have though Jimmy would have merited breaking in with a news flash though

The reason I asked Radio or TV is because I have BBC R2 on and it wasn't on the 3pm news.
his chair and his cigar and his Awwwwwwwww he did ,,will be missed
A very strange character but oddly appealing, RIP Sir Jimmy
RIP Sir Jim. A true one-off. May you keep fixing it 'up there'.
A fascinating and interesting cultural figure through the opening up of the pop world from the 60's onwards.
RIP Jimmy.
Very bad then that still nothing on BBC R2.
My tip off was from my partner via a news feed to a national radio station, have no clue how the Beeb will put it out there.
