What a shame, I loved Record breakers. Roy Castle was wonderful and the Christmas ones were great. Was never the same after he died. I used to enjoy the quirky ones like the hicupping or sneezing people. I wonder if they still hiccup or sneeze?

I watched the programme on the sub 4 minute mile tonight. I'd forgotten that Norris and Ross had been there when Bannister did the deed!

Yes, it is sad news. He seems to have done a lot with his life though.

I think it was Ross who was murdered by the I.R.A. Steve.

I remember him and his brother Ross with Roy Castle on Record Breakers - what a great programme!
