Can't believe Ricky Hatton has died, and only 46! A real gentleman and a great character.

Robert Redford RIP

 

[Otis]

Yeah. Just heard. Sad news.

As a side story, I know someone who actually met him. She was a make up artist on a film set. Said he was very nice.

Just read his obit. Sounds like he’d been struggling for a while. RIP.

Didnt know he was the inspiration for AP.

I think it was only last year he announced he had been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease.
As for inspiration for AP that’s just my opinion.
Not sure if Coogan has ever cited him.

Ah ok…on both counts.

I always thought AP was a little bit of a lot of cheesy presenters David Coleman, Frank Bough, Alan Whicker, Russell Harty, Bob Monkhouse, Noel Edmonds, Wogan, Mike Morris, Nick Owen, Alan Titchmarsh, Richard Whitely, Richard Keys, and defo a lot of Richard Madeley.

Nah, equal parts Richard Madeley, Fred Dineage and Alan Parry I reckon

Came across as a decent chap, pretty down to earth and a good journo. A real shame - didn't he do a stint on Central Weekend for a while?

Touch of Alan Titchmarsh too

That's a hell of a lot to divide the remaining 1%

Harold ‘Dickie’ Bird the umpire

Harold ‘Dickie’ Bird the umpire

I know we've all got to go sometime and without looking at his age I know he recorded a great innings but it's still a little sad when somebody associated to a sport or pastime that you enjoy has to leave.
He managed to be a character without ever trying. Courtesy largely of just being an occasional grumpy Yorkshireman.

 

[Joe King]

Never been a fan of cricket, but I knew who he was. RIP Dickie.

Not a fan of cricket? Howzat then?

 

[Captain Dart]

Harold ‘Dickie’ Bird the umpire

A good innings though.

A good innings though.

Better than being out for a duck….
