RIP George Negus.
No such thing as multiple TVs in the household, or multitudes of on demand channels as a child in the 80s.
So apart from Saturday morning cartoons, or a short stint after school, us kids watched what our parents watched, as a family.
These fellas very much fill my childhood memories of family TV evenings in the 80s (along with Tony Barber - Sale of The Century).
RIP George. As a primary school student, I really liked his journalism. Really pricked my early interest in geography, history, socio-politics and the general world around us.

RIP George. When there is a reference to George I cant help but think of his alter ego created by Hoges, George Fungus.
Another young one gone at 31. This is what fame can do to you. Drugs and booze.
