Baaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
(that's a chat up line in this neck o' the woods you know!! )
I always loved Tony Blackburn when I was a kid, always listened to his show, cringed at his jokes, cried at the intimate details of his divorce, etc. When I grew up (no sarky comments please!) I found him totally naff and embarrassing, but this last 2 weeks has brought back all the reasons I thought he was so great. I really didn't expect to like him so much, but he struck a chord with me. When he said in an interview "I thought nobody liked me!!" I thought it summed him up. He's just a nice guy who's just completed a difficult task for charity, hoping to pick up some new fans along the way. He never expected to win and looked completely overcome when his name was called out .... oooh! Anyone getting a feeling of deja vu???
