some years ago. John presented BBC TV's
North West Tonight alongside Stuart Hall, the
laughing cavalier from It's a Knockout.
John started as a stage hand at Manchester's
Opera House theatre on his quest to become a
tv director. Continuity was his ticket to telly
first at Newcastle, then Wales & eventually at
Manchester.
Like schoolboys we spent much time discussing
"corpsing & drying", it tickled me so much I
found myself delivering a more than passable
impression of S. Hall, laughing & wheezing
throughout. A joy!
