Ian McCaskill RIP

Following several years of dementia apparently. I remember him as a perpetually cheery, often parodied weatherman. RIP.

Sad news. He was one of the first weathermen with an on screen personality. I remember him describing heavy rain as being bad news for small dogs! RIP.

Yes, always seemed like a happy chap. Sorry to hear that he had dementia.

He used to do the forecast broadcasts in is socks cos he generated so much static it interfered with the mics...

How many weather presenters were so popular they were on Spitting Image? I also just learnt that it was him that told Michael Fish that there was no hurricane on the way...

I remember him going into Percy Prior's music shop in High Wycombe. A gentleman.
