We are sad to announce that James Whale MBE died earlier today aged 74, following a lengthy battle with cancer. As a broadcasting legend for over 50-years, James will be missed by so many at TALK and the wider News UK family.

Great radio and TV since 1995 and he was even doing it to a reasonable standard before that as well. Congratulations James Whales MBE.

Radio legend James Whale has been awarded an MBE in the King’s New Year Honours list for his outstanding contribution to broadcasting. 'A Lifetime Of Night-Time: The James Whale Story' will be broadcast on Saturday at 10pm. @THEJamesWhale

Poor @GaryLineker, he didn’t see the rat and wouldn’t have known what it is - he says, he’s just one of those clumsy people who keep being accidentally antisemitic

Oh no, Gary Lineker. How ever am I going to educate myself about the Middle East, domestic politics, the history of the 1930s-40s and which crisps to eat now?
