Sad news that Bill Kenwright has died aged 78.

I always enjoyed his R2 programmes.

RIP

I always enjoyed his programmes too Helen. It is really sad to think there won't be any more. RIP Bill.

Sad news.

Enjoyed his showbiz stories as much as the music on his programmes.

He came a long way from being Maggie Clegg's son on Coronation St!

I remember him well as Gordon Clegg. It's such a shame that in the last couple of years, Bill couldn't go to Goodison and watch his beloved Everton.
