A good innings indeed, but still a shame. In the early 1970s, he used to pop up on Anglia's afternoon programming with a show called Looks Familiar, that consisted partly of middle-aged people being shown some old artefact and saying "Oh, my grandmother had one of those" then wheeling out an anecdote about life in the war.
