I first heard the name Tim Blackmore as a listener to Radio One back in the days when producers used to get a mention. It was probably in the credits to his magnificent documentary series The Story of Pop.
A few years later I had the pleasure of working with him at Capital Radio. I was a very new inexperienced producer. He taught me so much. Tim was a joy to work with, and a great boss. We collaborated on other projects later, for the Radio Academy and Unique Broadcasting. Always a delight.
Only recently I received an email from him about a work opportunity which he thought might interest me. It didn’t (I’m very happy to be retired) but it is a mark of the man that even though he was seriously ill, he was still helping others. Tim was a one-off and will be greatly missed. My sincere condolences to Margaret and the family.
