Indeed. Who?????
RIP Kolma, condolences to all family and friends.
Despite the size of the BBC they have never ever produced someone of the stature of Sir Trevor McDonald, but I honestly think over the next 25 years he would have done that. The Beeb were gently bringing him along on BBC World- I can imagine the next step would have been our domestic news channel, and then national bulletins.
Don't understand why, on a condolence thread, people feel the urge to post they have never heard of him.
BBC is a big place- with many outlets- so, unless you follow closely you might not know him.
But he would have risen to the top. He had an on air presence you can't teach.
I remember when he did a daytime shift and there was a thread on here complaining about an "American" presenting the BBC News!
Absolutely. Such sad news. I heard him often on BBC World Service radio, where his deep voice was so distinctive and authoritative.
his twiiter is still going and will be taken over by someone else soon
Just the same as people go overboard with (false) grief and emotion for someone the see on a tv screen!
HOW DARE YOU.
Not false grief.
When someone dies young, with their talent not fully realised that is a REAL, GENUINE shock to the system.
When this sad news was briefly covered in a BBC1 news bulletin last night, Kate Silverton's voice was quivering slightly and she didn't appear to quite be in full control for a few seconds, when proceeding on to the next news story.
With an attitude like that - how do you get through the day ?
