Gordon Burns - End of an Era
 
Sorry to see Gordon Burns leaving BBC North West Tonight. He's been part of the furniture for so long.

He'll be missed.

North West Tonight?

I still thought he was on Suprise, Suprise with Cilla-rear, until I saw this thread.

Who are they bringing in to replace Gordon. Stuart Hall?

He's still going strong.

:D

The programme won't be quite the same.

A journalist who has steely determination when needed, but who always comes across as being fair.

They did.

Gordon wasn't the presenter.

It was a dismal failure.

It wasn't exactly my favourite programme when he presented it!

They didn't say.

Not that I saw anyway.

Gordon Burns isn't disappearing altogether. He has a radio show on Radio Lancashire at 9am on Sunday.

It won't be the same as seeing him though........I never was much of a one for romantic interests...but I would give Gordon the top off my egg any morning.

They are.

I think I have a crush on Ranvir Singh.

Even Tony Livsey's not too bad.

Despite informing us Elvis was living on the Moon in a London bus, when he was editor of the Sunday Sport...and being a Dingle.

Tony is funny, it doesn't matter what he does he always looks like he's been dragged through a hedge, he used to work on The Nelson Leader and he bought his house off a friend of mine

I thought that someone called Roger Johnson was taking over from Gordon Burns....not Tony Livesey.

He'd be staying the night then ... ;)

Me too, Margaret ... was quite attractive in a charismatic way.
Only met him once at a Christmas do at the Midland Hotel, Man. Absolutely charming man.

Re: Gordon Burns - End of an Era
 
Introduced to Gordon at Granada Studios way back in the 1980's, during a major enquiry when he was the frontman for 'Police File'. The most amenable and helpful media person I have ever come across. I will always remember him as that rarety: a media personality who was not up his own backside . . . so to speak. Heard his first broadcast on Radio Lancashire last Sunday and it went down very well.

No Kate........I would invite him over for breakfast. I'm not one of those fast cats;).
Now you have made me very envious.

I reckon Tony Livesy & Mozzer would both be good lads to have a few beers with.

My first ex was a dingle named Livesey - I wonder if he may be a relative.
Perhaps I'm better of not knowing - it isn't something I would brag about:rolleyes:
