Some sad news to share with those of you who worked at the BBC during the Pebble Mill years.
Sue Ward, who worked on the production team on John Taynton’s late show and then with The Archers has passed away peacefully at home in Durham.
Sue’s sister, Helen, who also spent some time with BBC Radio WM, asked me to help pass the message on to anyone who knew her.
Wishing Helen and family the very best at this difficult time.
