I give you the golden age of UK telly.
There were quite a few blokes like this around when @StephenMoss_TV and I joined the BBC in 1982. And some similar women too to be fair.
I well remember the truly formidable Biddy Baxter yelling on network talkback…

Residents in Levenmouth have raised concerns after reporting unusual activity at Leven train station during the early hours of the morning.
Multiple eyewitnesses claim that a large train reportedly longer than the usual 2–3 carriage service arrived at the station around 4–5am, with several minibuses waiting nearby. According to those present, groups of single men were seen leaving the train and being transported away from the station.
These reports are now being raised publicly, with calls for clarity from @FifeCouncil @ScotRail @networkrail and representatives of the @theSNP
Residents are asking:
• What were these train movements?
• Who was being transported?
• Where were they taken?
Local communities say they have a right to transparency and clear answers regarding activity taking place in their area.
