Exciting times.

What is Tony Blackburn doing now? I remember a few years ago he had a TV programme called Jim Will Sort It, or some name like that. He arranged for people to fly jumbo jets, drive racing cars and even ride in the Grand National. What a great adventure it was for everyone who took part. They were even awarded with a Blue Peter Medal at the end of the show. Such great memories!

You still a TV critic then? You know your stuff don't you?

Is this a jokey question? Cos I don't get it.

He had a great idea for a new TV show where people were asked to guess which box loadsa money was in (they tried to get Harry Enfield but he was away with his mate Stavros). They would all join hands and ask the audience to take their pick. Sadly he was killed by a golden shot which scored a bullseye.

I hear he is living in a Dusty Bin

[robbo82]

Didn't he buy a football team and name them after him? Blackburn Rovers or something like that?

[Octavius]

No, that was Ted Rovers from 1-2-3

[dot.hawkes]

wasn't he 'from norwich?'

[lankeela]

No that was sail of the century, where you could win a boat.

natalie_1982. Its a disc jokey question.

[lankeela]

Don't you mean a Joke Box Jury question?

I'm sad to say Tony Blackburn died a few years ago a broken man.
Alan Bennett is due to play him in a film of his life with Brad Pitt pencilled in to play him as a child.
It will chart his turbulent life and rocky marriage to Toyah Wilcox and his downfall from radio stardom - replaced by Jeremy Vine- the ultimate humiliation.
I blame Simon Bates!
