Brian Walden, former Labour MP & presenter of Weekend World has passed away aged 86. You may also remember him, or to be precise, the Brian Walden puppet on Spitting Image in the 1980's. RIP Brian. BBC News |

I remember Brian well. One of the programmes he presented used to on ITV on Sunday daytime.
I thought he was a very good presenter and analyst at that time.
RIP Brian.

RIP Brian Walden, my dad liked his interviewing style and Weekend World, the politicians couldn't stand Walden allegedly!

RIP Brian.
Absolutely bizarrely, I had checked him out on Wikipedia earlier that day and then in a few hours red about his death on the BBC!
Top political interviewer.

I remember Weekend World on LWT Sunday lunchtimes. I used to watch the end of it quite often as i was waiting for Police 5 to come on followed by The Smurfs.
The program had a heavy guitar sound of a theme tune if I remember correctly.
RIP Brian

Del it was Mountain by Nantucket Sleighride, only a small section of it was the Weekend World theme tune and sounded very prog rock, although there's more to the tune as this is the full tune; the W/W bit cuts in about 1 min 44 secs
