From my NotebookThis morning, we got the terrible news that media legend Danny Kelly had died, following illness. Amongst other things, Kelly edited NME and Q magazines. He later moved into footballing and presented The Athletic’s Spurs podcast, A View From The Lane and TalkSport’s brilliant Trans Europe Express - a show that got me, and surely many others, into watching football from beyond British shores. He was the type of presenter that was so good that you felt you knew personally, even if you’d never met him. Kelly was also a massive Spurs fan. Enjoy one of his most iconic moments - total hysteria live on air as Tottenham equalise against Arsenal to make it 4-4. “I LOVE FOOTBALL, STAN, I LOVE IT“. Truly, one of our own. I watch a lot of football on TV. It’s for work, obviously… One thing that is becoming increasingly frustrating is how directors cut to random things when the ball is in play. Sometimes at a key moment, we get a shot of the crowd instead. This happened throughout TNT Sports' coverage of Leeds' win over Spurs on Saturday. Chances were missed and multiple times the teams got up the field without any viewer having any idea how it happened. There was also an interview with Leeds player Lukas Nmecha during the 86th minute, whilst the game was going on and still in. As the Guardian live blog pondered: Did any football fan ask for this sort of thing?” No Subscriptions, but I Need Your Support
It's been a week that has rocked the entertainment industry, with the conviction of Russell Brand followed by the publication of allegations against David Walliams, which he denies. Media law expert, the author of McNae’s Essential Law for Journalists, Charlie Moloney joins the show. These are complicated, separate stories. Both, though, show the power of stubborn, diligent investigative reporting.
