Yes, an obviously very nice man who completely failed to assume 'airs and
graces' as a result of his popularity. I well remember him being called for
the defence in the week of the October '87 storm debacle. I don't even think
he was even on duty that week, but he did his best. Rather unfair of the BBC,
I thought.

I might be wrong but I think he was dragged in at the end of a rather traumatic
night shift. He certainly looked like it that morning.
