him and really he was the master. He was the one that everybody looked up to. The talk
00:05
show was never the same before him or after him when he stopped taking part in presenting
00:11
and there's never been anyone like him and there never will be again.
00:15
There wasn't. I think he taught us all how to do our jobs as broadcasters. He really
00:20
was a broadcasting legend, the original broadcasting legend and a great proud Yorkshireman, wasn't
00:26
he, which was absolutely wonderful. I loved his relaxed style, the way he would let his
00:31
guests talk but he'd always ask the tough questions at the same time.
00:36
He didn't suffer any fools gladly at all. I filmed with him down at his son's gastro
00:40
pub in Bray next to where he lived for most of his life and he was always on edge when
00:47
he met you for the first time but then as soon as you got chatting before, the interviewers
00:54
as we used to do in the green room, as he used to do in the green room, he then got
00:57
to know you and if he trusted you and he realised you'd put as much work into your research
01:03
as he'd put into his research, then you were on great terms straight away. It was a joy
01:10
to be in his company because you really realised that you were with the legend.
01:14
I think the broadcasting industry and Yorkshire has lost one of its greats. Very, very sad
01:20
news indeed.
