I can't see the link , but wasn't he a journalist ?
He also filled in for El Tel on the R2 breakfast show.
Awwwww - he was a real grouchy old man as I remember
- he used to be on TV regularly years ago - can't recall what he was on though.
RIP Derek.
There was some sort of programme about The English and their customs as seen through the eyes of foreign TV stations. "Do they mean us?" or the like.
Slightly embarrassing, but I thought he had died a while ago!

He was well known as a journalist and newspaper editor. As well as his stints on Radio 2, he also took part in BBC's "The Young Ones", in which six celebrities in their 70s and 80s attempted to overcome some of the problems of ageing by harking back to the 1970s.
RIP Derek.

I can still hear his voice booming: 'Do they mean me? They surely do!'
RIP Derek.
