Apologies if already announced elsewhere, but just noticed that the DJ Mike Smith has just passed away. Only 59 years. He was a good double act with Sarah Greene.

Far too young.

RIP

Blimey, only remember him as he was circa 1978ish. Young and very blond.

Great shame. Lots of childhood TV memories included Mike Smith. Also played a great role in Ghostwatch.

Sarah Greene was a tasty sort in her day too.

Excellent work. A mildly touching tribute to a recently and unexpectedly deceased individual, which you manage to turn into a moan about the cricket pitch. There really is nothing you can't put a negative spin on, is there?

Or was that supposed to be a joke, one that's gone straight over my head??

Just be thankful he didn't make a reference to Mike's chopper.

I remember his TV interview after the helo crash where he thought Sarah Greene had died. Heart-wrenching stuff.

RIP, and clearly one of those 70s/80s icons who was a decent sort.

Now there's a question. Unfortunately the mists of time are clouding my 70s vision too much for me to remember something like that.

Swap Shop I think was a bit early for Smitty - although he did later work with Noel Edmonds on The Late Late Breakfast show.

household name for me in my yoof.... always recall him being mortified and so humble when someone who was being filmed for (I think) The LLB show died during the stunt.... then he of course suffered his own heli crash. life indeed, far too short... so im off for a kip!!
