Its 10 years since the death of BBC newsreader and host of Channel 4's Treasure Hunt, Kenneth Kendall died aged 88. He'd suffered a stroke some weeks before. He joined the BBC in 1948 as a radio newsreader, transferring to TV in 1954, though bulletins were voiceovers at the time. He appeared on TV the following year becoming the first BBC newsreader to do so. He was employed on a freelance basis and also worked as an actor for a repertory company, which no doubt helped when a newsreader-type ewas required for drama, leading to appearances in Doctor Who and on the big screen in 2001: A Space Odyssey. Following his retirement from newsreading, he joined Channel 4 to become the host/presenter of Treasure Hunt from 1982 to 1989.

As I said earlier, Walking on the Moon isn't one of my preferred Police tracks (they arrive in the 80s). I managed to get down to a top 7 before struggling to decide which should go (3 are already gone). Of the remainder there are 5 or 6 I wouldn't miss if I never heard them again.

Re the Cliff/We Don't Talk Anymore debate, at the time it was in/around the charts I knew a guy who did a reasonably passable impersonation of Cliff singing this very song - every five minutes. The novelty soon wore off, hence my lack of appreciation, even 40 years later.
