| Welcome to The TV Shelter. We are sorry to say that as of the 8th April 2014, The TV Shelter will no longer be open to new posts, threads or members. Like that famous Monty Python sketch, this forum has joined the choir invisible. However this will continue to remain as an archive so that visitors can mindlessly plunder through old threads to look at PIFs, TV listings and other miscellanea that made this place truly unique. And if you still can't get your fix of TV nostalgia visit Facebook's TV Heaven or even TV Ark, the website that spawned the original forums. And finally a long standing has made a successor to the TV Shelter, which to a few is reminiscent of when an ITV franchise would change to another. The forum is called The TV Lounge and should keep the spirit running that it's predecessors carried. We hope you enjoy your visit. |

Just noticed someone mention this on Twitter, since the TOTP repeats started on BBC4, we've lost THREE people connected to this show, Flick Colby, producer Robin Nash and now Jimmy Saville. |

I discovered this a short while ago on AOL News. A true legend in broadcasting who'll be very much missed by all. As my tribute to Sir Jimmy, here's one of his classic 'Clunk Click' public information films from 1972 : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECrJaIOcCLs RIP.

Radio 4 announcement of his death...perhaps the only news bulletin which contains an impression! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y62yJIIEVCY |

I know it's old now, but interesting. A blog article Louis Theroux wrote when Jimmy passed on. http://louistheroux.com/blog/jimmy-savile/ |
