Graham Blockley.

I am sure you will be missed in many places and your voice for Robert
was often the sanity touch needed by Lynda.

What an extraordinary day. When KRW made his announcement about Graham
BlockLey I discovered that news sources in the West Midlands were
indeed publicising the sudden death of a Graham BlockLey and appealing
for information about next of kin.

I thought it was going to prove to be another Mark Twain/Dave
Swarbrick/Jerry Lee Lewis moment but I was wrong.

So sorry to hear that he's gone: I admired the way he balanced his
parallel careers.

I assume that the family will be consulted on how they would like the
programme to reflect the loss.
