Very sad news indeed. I was there at the very start of Geoff's tv Presentation career and - indeed - that of Sue also. My future wife, Meg, and I were once among the happy guests at their wedding in Ealing. Professionally, Geoff was at the very top of the
tree - clear, concise - the ultimate safe pair of hands and a most reassuring presence in my earpiece. Socially he was a delight and we shared the same sense of irreverent humour that was not always appreciated by Management! To me, Geoff was part of that
Golden Age of Presentation before computers took over and he was one of the very best. RIP Geoff and happy memories. Best wishes and love also to Sue. David Allan </div>
