Just heard the news that Danny Baker has cancer. A great original broadcaster - such a shame.

Damn, that is a shame.

I hope he recovers. He made me literally cry with laughter a few years back when I was listening to his show on Radio London.

One of the best broadcasters on the wireless - loved his TV series on greats that included Johnny Morris and Pinky & Perky until Danny explained it I didn't know P&P split because of P's drink problem.

Wondered why he'd not been on Saturday mornings - I hope he recovers too.

Saturday mornings just aren't the same

Didn't know he had a huge collection of laser disks.
Hope his player still works.

Surely one of the best broadcasters on Radio and a national treasure.

History lessons always irked me at school when they went on and on about battles between generals, which is why I think history was so boring.
Perhaps historians should forget politics and wars (not the real people who gave their lives in vein) and concentrate on real heroes - the people that make us laugh.
