Broadcaster John Stapleton - a familiar face on news and current affairs shows for decades - has died.

The 79-year-old, who had Parkinson's disease, died peacefully in hospital this morning.

Stapleton appeared on well-known programmes such as Watchdog, Nationwide, Newsnight, Good Morning Britain, Panorama, and GMTV's News Hour. An Early day Martin Lewis but spoke like a human rather than the gibberish speed emloyed by Lewis, he was often roused by injustice, i thought he was likeable and presented very well.
 
Remember him doing an article for Nationwide in about the late 70’s or early 80’s about a duck at Hamsey Green pond that was attacking locals. I was living just down the road in Warlingham at the time.

Particularly when it had ducklings.
