John McCain, but to be honest I never liked his oven chips.

The 'Out of Towners' with Jack Lemmon was a very funny film. Especially if you know New York.

Used to listen to her on 5Live, so this one has hit me.
Must be horrible knowing you only have days to live and to be at no age at all. Just 40 wasn't she?
RIP.

Got to know her as our paths crossed on 5live a couple of years back. When my wife was diagnosed w breast cancer last year, Rachael’s blog was a great inspiration to her and Rachael was just brilliant to both of us on many occasions. Everything that’s being said abt her currently is true she was funny, bright and a joy to be around.

Such a shame to lose her at such an age.

I too used to listen to Rachael Bland (Hodges) on the late show with Richard Bacon and then with Tony Livesey. She was a joy to listen to, came across as a very nice lady. When she was diagnosed with cancer I then took to listening to her podcasts.
A very courageous lady, taken away too early.
And if you get the chance, try and listen to her and Livesey discussing the name 'Randy' Had me in tears yesterday........

The good news is 'Rachael's Big C podcast will continue'
The bad news is, there maybe another presenter vacancy in a few months.

Totally agree Gazolba. I always fancied her when I was younger (even though she was older than me!) I feel like one of my old girlfriends has died. :emoji_frowning2:

The bbc write up did amuse me with the ’on his land’ line. If you ever watched his programmes then you’d understand it.

He was some character, I loved watching his programmes. I read a book on him a year ago, he was a poacher turned gamekeeper, used to get into fights,and loved a drink, a proper country bloke. He was a hard man with a reputation,but grew out of it and did well in his later years.
It shocked me when I heard how he died, bloody sad news.

He was a rough nut who got up to loads of trouble in his youth, but he loved the countryside etc, and ended up filming wildlife around Exmoor. Great character a proper bloke. Shocked me today.

Was he famous for any particular programme though? Have watched a few wildlife programmes, but never come across him before. The face doesn't even look familiar.

That surprises me as he was well known/popular for years. He did a great documentary a few years ago, he went to Lapland and Mongolia and lived with nomads,reindeer herders, really roughed it. They loved him as he was a toughie and not your typical wildlife presenter. I bought a couple of his books. Check him out he was entertaining !

He had his own series. Just google Johnny Kingdom wildlife presenter etc, and you'll get it. Worth watching.
