Ed Stewart

Oh no, Stewpot!

I fondly remember him in Crackerjack and on Junior Choice.

I can never remember who's been done for sex offences and who hasn't. I'm guessing he must have been one of the good guys.

So sad . We all remember him and his fellow DJs as young men - so hard to think of them as old, frail, dying. RIP Stewpot

I remember him giving children cabbages to hold

I think he was cleared of all charges jingl

Or am I thinking of Dave Lee Travis?

I don't think Stewpot was under any suspicion.

I think you are correct Merlot but all those DJ's kind of blur into one.

Ed Stewart was never accused of anything!

Stewpot was never alleged to have been one of my he bad guys.

DLT was tried and convicted of sexual assault

What a pity that they all being tarred by the same brush.
The totally innocent condemned for doing the same job, you really should check before you post,they do have families.

And they are all going to be reading Gransnet, aren't they?

I didn't tar him with any brush anyway. Just said I can never remember who was and who wasn't... etc. And I can't.

Sorry if I've knocked anyone's childhood hero.

Oh dear! Blotted me copy-book again. Sigh!

Always a part of Christmas; he sounded so frail this year. We always played 'Junior Choice Bingo', I got 4 corners this year with 'White Horses', 'Ernie', 'camp Granada' and 'Hole in my Bucket'! He will be missed.

So sad, I .used to watch Stewpot as a child, on Crackerjack he will be missed I thought he was such a lovely man,, R.I.P Stewpot .

Very sad, I enjoyed listening to him at Christmas, brought back many happy family memories. He was a part of my childood.

So sad, he was a lovely man. Will always remember him from Junior Choice.

Stewpot married a very young girl and there was comment at the time. I see from today's paper that the marriage lasted for 31 years. Impressive.

Sad to hear it. He was never accused of any sex offences, what a pity that had to be mentioned at all particularly as it was unfounded.
.

Very sad when our own age group dies before us. Quite a wake up. Glad his marriage did so well though the daily Telegraph says:

Ed Stewart married Chiara Henney in 1974. The marriage was later dissolved and he is survived by their two children.

A good sound entertainer, gave great pleasure to a lot of us, also with Princess Margaret and the Queen Mother as fans, with no negative back story. RIP

We used to have Radio London on when I was a kid, my mum was a fan, I remember seeing Ed Stewart playing football at a RL event in London once. Mum's been friends with Keith Skues for the last 50 odd years, she gets a mention in his book and goes on his program occasionally.

Until I read it on here, I didn't know one of my favorite DJs had died. RIP Ed Stewart - you'll be missed.
