    Peerless broadcaster. He will be sorely missed.

    Time to work my way back through The Media Show archives on the iPlayer.

    He was one of those people who when he was on TV talking about a particular story you listened to what he had to say.

    His updates with Eddie Mair were always so positive.

    He'll be very sadly missed. :'(

    Last week's Media Show was all about him. Well worth listening to.

    I listened to his updates with Eddie and they were brilliant, touching, sad, happy, inspiring, warm, touching, optimistic and honest. The day Eddie announced it, I wept, driving the car home. I willed him to get better I really did, its so very sad, and so cruel
