But he definitely left very suddenly with no goodbyes or explanations... and this was many months before he started on Going Live.


Well according to the
Off The Telly Broom Cupboard page...

""But Phil's time in the Broom Cupboard was coming to an end, and in August 1987 he bowed out after a final afternoon fronted from a rickety picnic table in the courtyard of TV Centre with Sarah Greene, the Newsround team and his replacement Andy Crane sat alongside him. It all ended with a visit to Michael Grade's office, where Gordon was offered a role in a remake of Gone With the Wind with Selina Scott. Then it was off to Saturday mornings.""

I also remember this involving a couple of presenters being outside thinking what are they doing out there. Unware at the time when I was about 8 or 9 thinking it was Phillip's last day.

If the Queen died

I'm not sure if this is in the right place for this or whether it's best suited for the Lounge so apologies in advance if it's in the wrong place.

Try this for a hypothetical question, imagine this... BBC One annouce the Queen has just died so as a mark of respect , they play the God Save the Queen.

Question is, wouldn't that be a contradiction?!?

Answers on the back of a stuck down envelope please!
