Really sad news. From That Was The Week That Was and through to his insightful interviews he truly was a bastion of broadcasting. R.I.P Sir David...

First caught sight of him on 'About Anglia,' just after Anglia TV started in 1959. Just up from college, and didn't seem to have much of the interviewing style that marked him out in his later years. But then most of the new station's presenters at that time seemed somewhat wet behind the ears compared to those on the more established networks.

RIP David.

Gosh, that's a bit of a shock. He seemed to be suffering from mild Parkinsons for the last few years but coped well.

RIP David.
