WWhat tv show did Richard stillgoe appear on in the 70s? Did he have a regular slot on something like 'that's life' or did he have his own show?

[silliemillie]

He was on Thats Life but dont know if he had his own show.

[MarkRae]

Nationwide.

[Zacs-Master]

I think he was a Yorkshireman and so was quite often on Calendar (ITV)

[MASS1961]

Sir Richard now....in That's Life & Nationwide

[Zacs-Master]

Aaah, as always Markimus is correct. I knew it was a 'news' prog.

[MASS1961]

Yes Zacs, he's a Yorkshire man from Surrey!

[Zacs-Master]

Mmm. I'm maybe confusing him with Jake Thackery. Same era. Too much red wine. Apologies.

Jake Thackray was on the Braden show, Braden's Week, which preceded That's Life. Loved him, still have his albums.

He hosted a children's quiz show called Finders Keepers in the early eighties. I remember it particularly because my younger son was an avid viewer and there was a competition whereby you got an answer each week and the viewers were told repeatedly to hold onto the answers until the last show, not to send them in. My son did this religiously and came to the last show and they announced a winner. I was furious on my son's behalf!!

He guested quite often on Countdown in Richard Whitely days. He was very witty and entertaining
