Default RIP Kenneth Kendall

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-20730869

Former BBC newsreader Kenneth Kendall has died at the age of 88.
The one-time presenter of the popular UK game show Treasure Hunt suffered a stroke a few weeks ago and died peacefully, his agent confirmed.
He joined the BBC as a radio announcer, later moving to television where he presented the Nine O'Clock News.
He also featured in the Doctor Who serial The War Machines and had a cameo role as a newsreader in 2001: A Space Odyssey.
The first newsreader to appear in vision on BBC television in 1955, Kendall also worked occasionally for ITN in the 1960s.
He was voted the most popular newscaster by Daily Mirror readers in 1979.

A look at some of the programmes presented by Kenneth Kendall

Recognised for his elegant sense of style, he received an award for best-dressed newsreader by Style International.
Wincey Willis, a former weather presenter and current BBC radio presenter, paid tribute to Kendall on Twitter.
She said: "[He] was a lovely man, very kind to me when I started Treasure Hunt. We were good friends. He was very funny and we both loved dogs RIP."
Born in India, Kendall became the face of the BBC Nine O'Clock News by 1975.
He left the corporation in 1981 to join Channel 4's Treasure Hunt, a gameshow which saw him direct Anneka Rice around the country in a helicopter to search for clues.
He returned to the BBC in 2010 to appear in a show called The Young Ones which featured six celebrities examining the problems of ageing.
Kendall retired to Cowes on the Isle of Wight where he ran an art gallery with his longtime partner Mark Fear.
