Re: Jack De Manio
Being a person who doesn't think she's ever listened to the today program on radio 4 I think he must have done something on TV too because the name certainly sounds familiar but from the dim and distant past.
Maybe I should have a google too

Re: Jack De Manio
I used to listen to Jack de Manio on the radio. He was a law unto himself, didn't much care if his opinion wasn't the "party line", and he was always giving the time wrong on the clock.
I don't remember him ever being on TV but I may be wrong.

Re: Jack De Manio
For some reason I associate the name with the Cliff Michelmore/Jean Metcalf era on the 'light program'

Bit of a different ball game there, Margaret. Please excuse feeble pun, Di Maggio having been a baseball player.  Oh yes, Googling's quite a hobby these days.
