I'd say the best presenter of Calendar?

That's a shame. He seemed a genuinely nice guy.

Was it Autin Mitchell that once took part in the Star Walk and hitched a ride on one of the cars?

I don't remember that but I do remember him doing a parachute jump for some reason on Calendar & breaking his leg.  He just presented Calendar for the next 6 or 7 weeks with his leg in plaster.

Speaking as a 74 year old, if I were offered 86 today I’d take it, however if I were offered it at age 85 I doubt that I would be as keen.

 

Good innings Austin, and you reached it honourably.
