RIP.

Yes he was homely - gave a relaxing presentation

My mum's favourite (she's 88 next month...and Irish).

Always seemed a genuinely nice man. RIP, but a good innings.

I used to watch his shows, his jumpers, his rocking chair, to be honest I thought he had passed ages ago. Again, said he died in a rest home, I wonder if he earned millions like they do these days

Doubt it, Steve ... ... after all, he actually had talent - unlike a lot of the modern singers!

Same here. Compulsive viewing in our house back then. Seemed a lovely guy RIP.
