Brilliant

Just heard on the news that Judith Chalmers has had her passport revoked.
Have a safe journey on your last trip from this world to the next.
R.I.P Judith.

I remember when I was a kid in the 80s. It'd be January and freezing cold. Then Wish you were here would start, Judith basking in all these red hot and far flung places that most of us couldn't afford. Pure escapism. She was good at what she did. RIP.

Years ago when "Wish you were here" was quite a big show, someone I knew was on holiday and they were filming at the hotel
Her co presenter Chris Kelly was apparently a real gentleman and she was horrible to everyone
