Cheggers
Today's news announced the premature death of popular TV personality, Keith Chegwin. It highlighted his popularity with generations alongside negative stories of alcoholism and marriage break up.
Squillions of kids loved his fun, friendly, easy 100% ad-lib style. The Multi-Coloured Swap Shop saw kids swapping their stuff, while Cheggers Plays Pop was a fabulous fun-filled game show with a background of contemporary music. He was much loved.
I met him when he was starting out. He was in a Marathon (Snickers) TV commercial. He was very friendly, polite and charming. The other gossip doesn't count.
Cheers mate.

It was very sad to hear that. Definitely should have been allowed to stick around longer that he did.

Thanks Jeff. He certainly seemed such a nice bloke when he was in our TV commercial. Very young of course, but then so was I!
