VSBfromH 74 Posted January 30, 2008 Rick Stein's wine merchant pal Bill Baker has died aged 53. He featured a number of times on Rick's various programs and gained infamy "after he suggested Rick add some wheels and a motor to Chalky when the dog died". Looking at the size of the guy, he was obviously something of a ticking time-bomb! Go get him, Chalky! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VSBfromH 74 Posted January 31, 2008 Broadcaster, writer, humourist and journalist Miles Kington has died aged 66. A well known face on TV a few years back, though not seen much recently. He wrote a column in the "Independent", the last of which was printed in yesterday's edition. He was a renowned authority on jazz. He always appeared to have a very cheery outlook on life, so will be sadly missed I'm sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He always appeared to have a very cheery outlook on life, so will be sadly missed I'm sure. One of the forerunners for the "80 Days Around the World", eventually taken up by Michael Palin, to huge success. I think Kington would probably have been just as enjoyable. A great shame - we're losing too many of the likes of him early whilst boring old fossils or idiots continue to roam the earth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
