James Whale was a broadcasting pioneer, legend and the king of late night talk radio. But most importantly, he was a friend who will be missed.

I was so glad I got to work with James Whale MBE.⁩ again in recent years on his TalkTV show with him and my old pal ⁦Ash⁩ and ⁦⁦Chuck Thomas⁩ - I’ve got a great face for radio but they actually let me on the telly once or twice. Treasured memories!

This is one of my favourite moments from James Whale MBE. on the original Talk Radio. They did a regular transatlantic link-up with another station and the great Jon Culshaw pretended to be then Prime Minister Tony Blair. It’s a great piece of radio on.soundcloud.com/jPEi7b0tcwnrOK…
