Forgot about Dan.
I was gonna put Golfer but Seve for me was much more than just a player of the game (I don't recognise it as a "Sport"), He was an excellent ambassador of Golf and a thoroughly decent human being.
I always thought Phil the Greek was a bit of a halfwit and that he inhabitted a different world from eeryone else, but he did an interview with some presenter, earlier this I think, She asked loads of inane, stupid questions so ... He ripped her to shreds, He went up in my estimation then, He's not as daft as he lets on. Hope he recovers but he must be a fair age by now.

I was told today that he & the Queen are planning an extensive tour of UK next year. He's needed for that, so he'd better get well soon. |

It was the interview with Fiona Bruce for his 90th birthday if I remember rightly. I spent most of the show cringing. She was bloody awful as usual; so insipid - much like Huw Edwards who the Beeb like to wheel out for every occassion.

T'was indeed, I seem to remember her asking either absolutely inane pointless questions or really personal questions to which the Duke's reply was usually "Fuck Off, are you really stupid enough to think I'll answer that" of course I may be mis quoting him here but it was deffo words to that effect.

One of the great comedies while I was growing up, everytime I see Robert Lindsay (even in serious roles) all I can think of is "That's Wolfie"

I've never really seen Citizen Smith - it's not a show that gets repeated.
