There was Minder

Outstanding broadcaster in my opinion, during the late 80's early 90's I listened to his show for many years and thought he was fair, witty and couldn't be messed around with

I used to enjoy listening to him on talkback. He spent a crazy weekend in Greencastle, back in 1980, playing golf with Nick Faldo, drinking with Vera Duckworth, Mike Baldwin & half the cast of Corrie and singing with Johnny Logan.

RIP David.

Seemed a nice guy David, not so long after his lovely wife Roisin. Not heard what, but guess cancer

Good broadcaster, made Talkback a great programme, always seemed fair to me?

RIP.

Former Alliance Party leader dies: The first leader of the Alliance Party, Oliver Napier, dies at the age of 75.

Saw a bit of David Dunseith in the mid 90's and he was very good, giving everyone a fair hearing but not letting freaks away with, well, being freaks. But if so many people here think he was a fair minded presenter, does that mean themmuns think he was outrageously biased? Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam

Andrew Boyd, author of the excellent Holy War in Belfast has died aged 90.

Anyone interested in the long term background to recent events in East Belfast should read this book.

I am pretty sure that Oliver Napier and David Dunseith were familiar with it.
