A terrific and important writer and broadcaster who has died much too young. Who Paid the Piper? was eye-opening; The Suitcase is a brilliant and moving book.

Sublime.
Massively nostalgic now. Very happy memories of the half hour C4 TdF coverage in late 80s / 90s. Not having much of a clue what was really going on, but loving every single second of it.
Wonderful stuff.
