Lovely BBC Breakfast tribute show to Bill Turnbull; I wish we had more of these IN DEPTH shows and I wish they could be done BEFORE death (like the fantastic Gorbachev Hard Talk). I really miss these in depth interviews. I put myself forward for a Prime Time BBC1 hour long show (happy for Piers to do it - I think his interviews are actually very good) BEFORE I die.
Thank you JK !

Men don't talk about illnesses like women do.
I had mine checked at young age because my prostate cancer runs in the family it was just some relatives up, I was clear but it's not something I will do ever again.

I've tended to watch BBC Breakfast in the mornings since it started; always the best I think. But I must say Bill came across as the best and nicest of all of the hosts. I get tested for prostate etc every 6 months (I have regular tests for diabetes).

Sad news. One of the best Breakfast hosts I thought.
