He was apparently going to attempt the under 2 hours in open competition in Rotterdam in the next month or so

Ah that's a sad one. My mum always had Radio 2 playing in the kitchen, I must have caught countless hours of his afternoon show over the years.

There's a specific image that they keep using of Steve Wright that I always assume is Steven Seagal.
Regardless...
RIP.

Weird, I saw his photo on the BBC homepage a couple of days ago and thought maybe he'd died, but it was something about a show that was on the radio that day.
EDIT: It was a pre-recorded Valentine's show, so maybe he knew.

Apparently there are hoax reports that David Irving has died, it's not true and there's no evidence that he's dead.

Is this sad?
Not at all? to some extent? Very Much so? Don't know?
That a rough one. That appraisal scene no matter how many times I see it remains the funniest thing ever. 'Can you remember the question' [chews gum, blinks, little headshake, almost shrugs] 'No'
Made that character his own, I don't think Gervais/ Merchant originally envisaged Keith like that, the actor created that sort of non acting, extreme dead pan persona and it was glorious
Edit. Also if he was 50 must have only been in his late 20s in the office. Such a talent

Boring isn't it, staying in and watching Peak Practice with your life? Not for me, I love it.
Always the same. Not at all, somewhat, very much - do you remember the question?

Strengths, you put accounts.
I think he had a pretty bad time of it financially, from memory.

I can't remember the name, but didn't another ex-pornstar kill herself a month back?
Pretty shocking how many of them die in that industry, either towards the end of their career or after they've quit.

Jesse Jane was the other one.
KLC was a classic, but she seemed messed up way back when Louis Theroux did his pornstar documentary so it's not entirely surprising. RIP
