About this deal

How fascinating it would be to be able to hear the 1949 programme which imagined how a broadcast in 1849 might have sounded. The frantic gossip inspired by the imminent publication of MacGregor's autobiography, Woman of Today, resembles nothing so much as the tittering in a girls' school common-room. In the first of a new series of The Reunion, Sue MacGregor reunites Nick Leeson, the man who broke Barings bank, with his colleagues and former boss, Peter Norris. The birthday programme itself came ‘live’ from the Radio Theatre at Broadcasting House, where an audience of specially invited listeners were entertained by a Fiftieth Anniversary Quiz, hosted by Jenni Murray.

As a newly-qualified solicitor, he helped his father interrogate the Enfield poltergeist and, as such, is probably the only member of the Law Society to have cross-examined a ghost. Similarly, in 2006, for the actual sixtieth birthday broadcast there was a glamorous show of stars but alongside celebrity, Woman’s Hour used this anniversary year as an opportunity to commission a survey into the lives of British women – and men – with questions on sex and relationships, work, parenting and caring, and living arrangements. He might, in fact, have made it a hat-trick of signature sitcom roles had it not been for his unrivalled ability to lose friends and irritate people. Ever a perfectionist, he took elocution lessons which resulted in the clear and concise voice that made his characters so real.In the continuing fall-out of the sordid Jimmy Savile affair, a 66-year-old fellow actor is alleging that in 1968, when he was 18 and working as an extra on a BBC2 drama in which Rossiter was starring, he was sexually abused twice while an ‘excited’ Rossiter watched. Daniel Radcliffe breaks down in tears in FIRST trailer for documentary about his Harry Potter stunt double. When sending us pictures, video or eyewitness accounts at no time should you endanger yourself or others, take any unnecessary risks or infringe any laws.

Exhaustive, affectionate, honest and long overdue, Character Driven will finally give a personality to the man behind some of the greatest comic performances of the twentieth century. Good Morning Britain viewers demand Richard Madeley be dropped as he asks guest who lost 21 relatives when. She is a professional radio presenter, not an automaton, and displays an admirable capacity to draw distinctions between her personal interests and her on-air duties. I’ve reached that point now I think, and I wish my successor as much enjoyment out of the programme as I’ve had.But he reached a point where, he said, he was ‘bored out of my mind’ with the insurance business and chucked it in to become an actor. Sue MacGregor brings together a group of pioneering female newsreaders who helped to redress the gender balance in the television newsrooms of the 1970s and 80s. I asked him what he thought of the script,' Croft later explained, 'and he remarked that he had read it and passed a comment that there was "undoubtedly something there," though he thought the character fell into the trap of being a bit of a cliché'. As you celebrate your 75th year, it is with great pleasure that I send my best wishes to the listeners and all those associated with Woman's Hour. You do what hurts least in the end, and to lose the man was, at one stage, more painful than to keep him.

Radio Four suits her and she will continue to give the channel, if not Today, a personality that the nation patently adores. Whatever the explanation, the story that inspired a number of documentaries and films looks set to remain a fascination for many years to come.British Soap Awards are CANCELLED: ITV make surprise announcement ceremony will not take place next year. Asked this week for a view on the allegations being made against Rossiter, MacGregor said: ‘I’m going to be really boring and say “No Comment”.
