Sean: a Celebration

[LMcD]

Nothing like that series I’m afraid. Life at the top is very brutal. The top jobs are very demanding and very political .That series makes it look like a joke. There are ( or I should say were ten years ago ) plenty of non jobs though.

Well, either way it doesn't sound or look like Paddy's sort of thing. I think my tongue-in-cheek suggestion was prompted by some of the comments about Sean Rafferty's last programme and the reports of Zoe Ball's tearful departure from the Radio 2 Breakfast programme. Nick Robinson also went a bit OTT the other day as 'Today' braced itself for Mishal Husain's departure. I can clearly remember Michael Aspel's final news bulletin, which he ended by shuffling his papers and quietly saying something along the lines of 'Well, that's about it, then'.

It’s always about presenters isn’t it ? The thousands of (often more talented ) production and technical staff who’ve left never get a mention.
