RIP Brian Matthew

Sad news that Brian died yesterday.
He worked for the BBC on various radio shows from 1954.
He presenting Sounds of the 60s in 1990. He worked mainly on the Light Programme, Radio 1 and Radio 2.

Sounds of the 60s was a great show to hear. Another of the many R2 broadcasters to die lately (Carrington, Wogan, etc). He was 88 I think. Sadly, they don't seem to make broadcasters in that mould much any more.

RIP

Looks like someone made a mistake

Good old BBC makes you wonder what else do they get wrong.....and their penchant for fake news as well...reminds me of the Sunday Sport headlines of old......

Critically ill but still alive

This is about the only thing you can get them to apologise for lying about...

They might just air it anyway to get it out of the way

By the way, the name is Brian Matthew (no s on the end)
