Death

[edit]

At the moment, the only reports of his death have been from Internet forums (which fail WP:V) and BBC News reports on BBC Radio 2. Is it possible to cite from this radio news report to meet biographies of living persons policy? --tgheretford (talk) 21:36, 9 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure, I suppose we could specify the time of the bulletin, etc. I don't know whether it's possible to do that. In any case there should be something available by tomorrow. TheRetroGuy (talk) 22:09, 9 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Nevermind - BBC News reporting it: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/8351614.stm --tgheretford (talk) 22:47, 9 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

What did he die of? Lkjhgfdsa 0 (talk) 20:24, 17 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I get the impression from the articles I've read that it was natural causes, but I'm not sure. TheRetroGuy (talk) 20:51, 17 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
According to this the cause of death was emphysema and pneumonia. TheRetroGuy (talk) 14:27, 23 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Year of birth

[edit]

There's some disagreement over his year of birth. The Guardian says 1938 and the Independent 1939. I'm inclined to go with the former since reports about him earlier in the year put him as 70 and his birthday was apparently 1 November. TheRetroGuy (talk) 12:43, 11 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The GRO Index has his birth in December quarter 1938 Keighley volume 9a page 249 Keith D (talk) 00:55, 24 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Broadcasting career

[edit]

Have now incorporated the Sunday Night at 10 section into a much larger section about his broadcasting career. TheRetroGuy (talk) 13:39, 11 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
