Sad news on Wales Today that their long serving former sports presenter, Bob Humphrys, has died from cancer.

I never knew he was John Humphrys' brother

Yes - he appeared on his brother's This Is Your Life, where he was introduced as Robert, and no mention was made of the fact that he was also a broadcast journalist.

Bob once had to take over and finish an edition of Wales Today when the presenter - John Darran - was taken ill and had to leave the studio once he had handed to Bob.

It is very sad news. I enjoyed watching Bob, to put is simply - he was very good at what he did.

I missed Wales Today, but I hear Vincent Kane made an appearance. Does anyone have a copy?
