BBC Press Officers past and present will be amused/irritated to read the obituary of Paul Vickers, "Squarebasher" for Private Eye, in the current edition.
Paul also worked as a producer/reporter on Radios 4 and 5Live from 1997 to 2012.
"He .. kept us supplied with regular updates on the Birtian idiocies that were engulfing the corporation. He also provided unstinting aid to his fellow hacks, consulting the corporation's vast information resources whenever we needed help researching stories. Throughout the late1990s a regular cry would ring out in the office: 'Call Vickers !' He will be greatly missed."
