I don’t know if he will continue with Mastermind. He has done ‘Today’ for 32 years,

Urmstongran give over to a younger person ?

Melvin Bragg is 79. Jenny Murray 70, David Attenborough 93,
Judi Dench and Maggie Smith 83

Should they budge over for a younger person ?

Will he still be doing Mastermind?

I thought he must have died in the night! OH reckons there will be no one over 40 working for the beeb in the not too distant future.

OH listens to the radio more than I do from the days when he drove for a living. JH is better than his colleagues. Most have grating voices that make me switch off or over.

Hope your day improves Annie.

He’s had a good innings Annie in an industry that is notoriously difficult to break into.

At the age of 75 years it was high time he budged over to give a younger person a crack at it.

Wogan was the same.

And loads of others, clinging on by their fingertips. I’m not saying they weren’t good at what they did. Just greedy perhaps - for the money and/or the fame?

I am bereft ?
