I have been listening to Matthew on and off for most of my adult life...RIP Brian !

[Lie-in King]

That's sad news, he was an excellent broadcaster, I loved "Sounds of the 60s".

RIP Brian.

Me too Mikey - he will be missed.

I loved Sounds of the 60s too, LIK. Sad news. RIP.

[mikey4444]

I used to listen to him many years ago, when I was on the night shift alone. He had a very calming sort of voice....never shouty like so many are nowadays.

Very sad - and more sad is that because of ill-treatment by the BBC, he was not able to die 'in service' as I am sure he would have wished.

RIP. I first saw him on Thank Your Lucky Stars on ABC Television 5:50 p.m. Saturdays. Then followed him on Sounds of the Sixties.

[Jomlett]

As you were, he's not dead. Critically ill: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-39500773

[DTCwordfan]

Very sad......didn't agree with all but he challenged thinking. That is his best testament.

[DTCwordfan]

[chrissa1]

What thinking did he challenge, DTC?

Another classic example of Fake News perpetrated by the BBC it seems.
