From the BBC Press Office today:
Tributes have been paid to Jonathan James-Moore,
BBC Head of Radio Light Entertainment from 1993 to 1998, who has died aged
59.
Jenny Abramsky, BBC Director of Radio and Music,
said: "If you ever had a meeting with Jonathan you knew it would be a laugh. He
was an absolutely lovely man, terrific fun. I will miss seeing that huge
galumphing figure with the mass of red hair wandering down the road. He was a
real human being who didn't shut himself away. He cared about radio as a medium
and was interested in all aspects of it."
Jon Plowman, BBC Head of Comedy, said: "This is a
very sad moment. Jonathan James-Moore was always a larger than life character
with a real love of comedy and a very good eye for spotting new talent. Many of
today's mainstream comedy artists passed through his hands and tutelage. He was
a huge asset to BBC Radio and to the whole comedy community. He will be sadly
missed."
