I think my opinion is coloured by a visit he made to my city when he was on Radio One - he was making a personal appearence at a teenage disco.
NE was over an hour late, and when eventually arrived, he ticked off the audience ( all young teens) for shrieking at him, and was humourless and rude to everyone involved ih the event. He does have a reputation for being humourless.
That said I think he is a broadcaster without equal - and as advised, i do very much admire his skill in his work on DOND.
I can concur Loftylottie - I had a chat with Paul Jones backstage at Glastonbury last summer and he looks about thirty-five close-up. In fact, he looks younger now than he did in the 1960's.
Loobyloo. Yes I would agree about Alan. He has something - a twinkle and a nice warm personality and he's not vain. A lovely man - I would love to meet him.
Hey, I don't watch it. But Noel Edmunds has been around for the same amount of time as I have!! I saw a couple of Deal or no deals and that was enough!!
