Straight faced, ever the professional broadcaster but boy what a (not so) private life. Cocaine, Hookers, wearing lingerie and a dungeon orgy. Only Frank could come back from a sex and drugs scandal to have another one only a few years later 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, for my generation he was the very definition of staid, dull TV presenter, the very LAST person you would expect to get those headlines. Just trying to think of some present day equivalent - Matt Baker? Jeff Stelling? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xann Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Chris Hugget, Audio engineer. Designed the Electronic Dream Plant Wasp, The Oxford Synthesiser Company OSCar, co designed the Akai S1000 and S3000 and then went to Novation to design the Bass Station and Super Nova II. These are all fairly big deals if you're into electronic music? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

choffer Posted October 29, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted October 29, 2020 Bobby Ball. Gutted. I absolutely loved him when I was a kid. Pestered my dad relentlessly to take me to see The Boys in Blue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seat68 Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Difficult to respond to Bobby Ball dying that isnt petty and nasty. I worked with him, I had run ins with him. I disliked him. I don’t wish him death but I wouldn’t mourn him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't going to mention it, but that's exactly the same experience as someone I know who worked with him. Shame, I used to find them quite funny when I was a nipper.
