    Default Richard Neville Dies aged 74.

    Not somebody we have heard of in some time when back in the 60's etc, he seemed to pop up just about everywhere.

    I remember him having an interview with a very scary person called Charles Sobhraj, an alleged mass murderer and I got the impression that Sobhraj really rattled Neville's cage.

    It is sad to hear he died possibly from Alzheimers (the long Goodbye) disease.

    I've met Richard on a few occasions, with him being a long-time resident of the Blue Mountains.

    He was quite active earlier on with the various festivals in the region.

    Glad you confirmed the location of his death because firstly SkyNews said in England, that written one says Byron Bay and then TEN News said the Blue Mountains.

    Funny that, was at a dinner party last night with some people from the UK & Sydney, they hadn't heard of him either, and they're all, like me, from that generation.

    I know of him because I used to read the magazine, & followed the UK OZ trial when it happened.

    All I could say was that I lived through that period & remember most of it.

    He used to appear quite often on either or both the Mike Walsh and Ray Martin's today show, often I believe as a 'fill in' for someone who didnt show up.

    I suppose being on shift work, I used to get to see that show as I would be having lunch and getting ready to go to work at 3pm or if I had woken up early when on Night shift.
