Just after parking, Danny Baker, one of our best and most original broadcasters (I have to say that as he admits to being a regular visitor here), on his way to his Radio London studio. We chatted at length after I removed his ears from a rather fine Frank Sinatra track.
And then, meeting a friend for tea, at the next table a face I thought I recognized but didn't until he spoke on his mobile (John Motson) and his guest (who I knew but couldn't name either until my friend later confirmed it as Jim Rosenthal, Motson's opposite number on ITV).
The nuggets of fascinating gossip I got from ear wigging before my guest arrived - but I cannot pass on a single one since my nickname is Miss Discreet 2008 - are just staggering.
How annoying can I be?
Do you think Motty was saying down his mobile to his dear wife, "you know darling but I think theres that Jonathan King sitting at the table next to me?"  |

I wonder which one of those 2 statements we mostly agree with  |

Yeah, Bob Mills took over when Baker left. |

Danny Baker is great no 606 on five live on tuesdays, however most of his forays into tv have been disastrous (e.g. pets win prizes, that chat show). He's quite good on talking head shows. I don't remember him on win, lose, or draw. I thought that was Bob Mills. |

I must say I cannot remember it as far back as the late 80s (although I was very young then), in fact I can't remember Allan Stewart at all.
Nor, I'm afraid, can I remember Emlyn Hughes or David Jensen as team captains.
This sort of programme certainly beats the Jeremy kyle twaddle that occupies the 9:25am timeslot on ITv1 nowadays! |
