Sad news about the death of Sky News presenter, Bob Friend. He also had bit parts in the movies, including Armageddon. Very few news reporters get to report on the world being invaded by aliens Laughing

I remember his authoritative but subtle Australian tones as a BBC reporter, before he went to Sky News. He was in fact British born and bred. Probably most famous for his bit in Mission Impossible.
