There was outrage this summer when radio presenter Malcolm Laycock left his Sunday Night at 10 programme after 14 years, following a dispute with BBC Radio 2 bosses.
And now Mr Laycock – who had been presenting jazz and swing music programmes since the 1960s – has sadly died.
Sunday Night at 10, a celebration of the music of the 1920s and ’30s, attracted audiences of more than 300,000.
Mr Laycock was also a Sony Award winner thanks to his music documentaries.
Pay tribute to him here.

Thank you for this obituary.
I knew Malcolm for many years since he was a teacher at my secondary school.(in 1970)
He was one of the finest human beings that ever lived..a perfect gentleman in every way.
Both he and his wife, Liz, will be missed by many.
As a broadcaster, he was the consumate perfectionist!
i knew him and he would be a quizmaster at the annual bookham big band quiz. He was a gentleman and had no airs or graces about him. he will be sadly missed and perhaps the BBC should be feeling a little guilty.David Heal, Secretary abinger big band and jazz clubperidsei
