Terry was a joy wasn't he, so relaxed and funny. My children were brought up listening to him on the radio on the way to school. I loved the Janet & John stories as well. I also enjoyed the banter he used to have with Jimmy Young.

Janet and John stories were so naughty! Not forgetting old Chuffer Dandridge, Norah Treadwell's 'Tan and Touch up emporium' and where was that 'Swimmerama'? The wonderful radio firework display was always a joy too.

Yes Aveline we won't see his like again. He didn't take himself too seriously, did he? I've got one of those Janet and John Cds which I must fish out sometime and listen to.

Me too Aveline. I loved those stories. We were obviously driving to work at the same time. Years ago my husband lived near him and often chatted to him when he was out gardening - said he was a really nice man. Sad loss - as is the humour we enjoyed. Can’t say anything without offending someone nowadays.

I do miss him. I used to laugh all the way as I drove to work every day.
I recently found some old 'Janet and John' stories on YouTube. Blimey! How did he get away with it. He'd never be allowed these days. What's happened to us? Have we all become snowflakes or just too woke or is the BBC trying too hard to be inoffensively bland? I know which I prefer.
