I didn't realise he was still alive to be honest - let alone still broadcasting! Well done him - especially still carrying on while so ill.

Am really sorry to hear about David Jacobs.  I really loved his show on a Sunday evening, it was so relaxing and he had such a lovely voice.  I was sorry when he retired recently and did not realise he had such a short time left. He was 87 I think.  Was also sad about the sudden passing of David Frost, another sad loss.
