    He was a presenter on Channel M (Manchester) I think, it closed only recently. Someone claimed Linda Barker was no longer on, pretty sure I saw her on a home makeoever prog on ITV within the past few weeks.

    Paul Daniels ?

    And I don;t see much of Clive Anderson - outside the "Dave Timewarp" - although he's now doing Loose Ends on Radio4 (excellent job, after much missed Ned Sherrin).

    Now saying something like that's tempting fate and we could now get another outbreak of those very bad FirstPlus scam loans company adverts! :eek:

    i don't know how vorderman can live with herself for doing those ads. it says a lot about her as a person.

    anyway, i nominate nick owen.

    he was all over itv during the 1980s, to the point of being their main anchorman for the 1988 european championships.

    then he just disappeared.

    haven't seen much of nick hancock lately either.

    Nick Owen presents Midlands Today from Birmingham on BBC1 and has done for years (not to be confused with Nicholas Owen of the BBC News channel).

    Mike 'The plank' Morris from TV-AM.

    And one of his dreadful co-presenters Kathy Tayler.

    Mark Little (Joe Mangle) - possibly returned to the colonies?

    My wife tells me Kathy Tayler is now a presenter on the QVC shopping channel and has not improved since her TV-AM days.I believe Mark Little is (alas) still in the UK doing stage work.Mike Morris has fallen off the radar since a stint at Yorkshire TV.

    Gerry Stevens of the double act Lenny and Gerry with Lenny Bennett, he seemed to fade away when the double act split in 1980. Also whatever happened to Phil Cool?

    archie macpherson spent the 1990s doing commentary for eurosport. he writes football books these days -- his most recent one was a very good biography of jock stein.

    Carole Smillie was everywhere at one point and then just seemed to vanish.

    Caol Smillie is on live on STV standing in for Michelle McManus in a Scottish tv local programme called "The Hour". A popular opt-out programme instead of Alan Titchmarsh the rest of the UK is getting!!

    I met Mike Morris 12 years ago whilst going some work for Galaxy Radio in Leeds. Nice bloke, did go on and on about being the first UK journalist to interview Nelson Mandela after his release though.
