Totally agree, there's not that much life in his eyes either, some of the other photos make him look a bit like a space cadet - he had a seriously bad shunt, then. No wonder the details are sketchy. He lost control of an open topped three wheeler at around 130 mph and it had no airbags, so didn't sound too good at the time.There's stuff online suggesting BBC staff on site have been treated for PTSD. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

harrymcnallysblueandwhitearmy 1,689 Posted November 21, 2023 ‘I’m a Celebrity star…’ is right up there with ‘Harry Potter actor…’ as a fairly dispiriting career summary. As is ‘Midge Ure’s ex-missus…’, I suppose. I hope mine will read ‘Deathlist pioneer and occasional poster…’ in the Elham Valley Newsletter. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
