Not a mention of it on Westcountry News .

Doesn't mean to say there won't be anything at 6pm.

Edit: Just realised, after looking at the Westward pages of TV ARK, that he died just 12 days before what would have been Westward's 45th anniversary.

Funny that we were only talking about him in the Culverhouse Cross thread the other day.

There was something about it on Westcountry News last night, with footage of Westward's launch and the late 60s ident.
