Haven't seen this elsewhere, I thought some of you might be interested. It's just been announced that he's died, he was quite a famous TV producer, announcer and journalist but his climbing claim to fame is that he was quite obsessed with Tilman, and produced a significant documentary about him back in the 70s, which I haven't seen but was I think highly regarded. I knew him from crewing on his boat, 'Spirit of Tilman' - not an altogether relaxing experience, like Tilman John didn't suffer fools gladly, so his boat was well named.
