Died of a lung condition at the age of 60. He played a part in pioneering new programme formats, such as multi coloured swap shop and cheggers plays pop in a varied career that would span five decades, as our correspondent lizo mzimba reports. His energy, his sheer enthusiasm, made Keith Chegwin into a household name. Welcome to our very special christmas edition of cheggers plays pop. A career on tv seemed somewhat inevitable, even in his early teens. He was a natural in front of the camera, in productions like this road safety video. Gosh, thanks do you want to swap this . Just a few years later, cheggers, as the public now called him, was sharing the screen with some of entertainments most famous faces. How long did it take you to record the album . Figures who worked with Keith Chegwin have been paying tribute. I knew he was very unwell. I spoke to him about four weeks ago, and he said he was recovering, so i didnt expect this. Very, very sad news. His one time presenting partner and former wife, maggie philbin, said his career did decline fora time, and the public were shocked to discover that he was an alcoholic, something he spoke about when he appeared on celebrity big brother. What id do is all the tricks. You never buy a full bottle of whiskey, because you cant hide it, so you buy 2 2 bottles. In fact, reality tv helped give him a new outlook. He was able to regain much of the fame of his early career, thanks to his honesty, personality, and endless ability to laugh at himself. Few tv stars can claim to have had a top selling chart hit, to have entertained and delighted millions while in their teens, and then to have still been doing the same for viewers decades later.

Saracens european hopes planet along with the mercury, as they suffer a regular audit home defeat to claremont over. Claremont welcome to the programme. Plenty to get through. We start with the european draws in switzerland with a record five english sides represented in the champions league. Chelsea have the hardest task of the lot, facing five time winners barcelona. Its been a fairly lean a couple of yea rs its been a fairly lean a couple of years for british sides in the champions league, just leicester reaching the quarterfinals last season, but with that record five english teams in the last 16 theres every chance two, three, maybe even more will reach the quarterfinals this season. We had that draw. Lets show you which teams those five english clubs will face. Fairly kind, man city after switzerland. Liverpool often porto, for man united at sevilla. Each club that w011 united at sevilla. Each club that won its group will expect to get through to the quarterfinals. Spurs did better than any team in the group stages, but they have got juventus, the runners up, the away leg will come first but still that isa leg will come first but still that is a really tough tie. Is. They would have hoped for something a bit easier than that. When it comes to top drawers, chelsea finished as runners up in their groups and they we re runners up in their groups and they were always running the risk of getting one of the big guns and they certainly have that. Barcelona, five time champions clear at the top of la liga at the moment. That is huge chelsea will be facing. The only crumb of comfort that chelsea will have is that they have a fairly decent recent record against barcelona, last played them in 2012, in the semifinals, an amazing performance home and away, got a draw at the new camp, beating them at sta mford draw at the new camp, beating them at Stamford Bridge thanks to Didier Drogba and they went on to beat Bayern Munich in the final five yea rs Bayern Munich in the final five years ago. But what does the current chelsea manager think about getting barcelona 7 chelsea manager think about getting barcelona . We must be positive. We know well, when we are in this stage, you must be ready to face every tea m. Stage, you must be ready to face every team. In this case, we must be ready to face barcelona. Here are all eight of the times we can look forward to. Starting in february, there are the four british clubs that won their group at the top. Straightaway the stand outside, real madrid, 12 time winners, current champions of europe against harry st germain. Dont forget there are two british clu bs still dont forget there are two british clubs still involved in the last 32 of the Europa League. Yesterdays Manchester Derby was a lwa ys yesterdays Manchester Derby was always going to bring drama, but it was the antics off the pitch that have been garnishing the most attention today. After the 2 1win, an incident broke out in the dressing room between the players and staff. Not even halfway through the season but already firmly on course for the premier league title, a winner all the sweeter for man city as it came at the home of their closest challengers and bitter rivals, manchester united. Is that it, is the race is over now . No, no, in december, not yet. Its impossible. We have lots of games still to do, its important for our confidence of course. Inside the away dressing room, course. Inside the away dressing room , scenes course. Inside the away dressing room, scenes of jubilation course. Inside the away dressing room, scenes ofjubilation which we 110w room, scenes ofjubilation which we now know to be the cause of an ugly altercation between the two sides. While the city celebrations were deemed excessive by uniters manager Jose Mourinho who confronted them and are said to have had a carton of milk thrown at him during a heated exchange. Citys assistant coach is understood to have suffered a cut head. It carries echoes of october 2004, when Alex Ferguson was hit by pizza after a bad tempered meeting with arsenal. The Football Association has asked united and city with their observations, and given them until wednesday to respond. The incident overshadowed a victory that extends citys lead to 11 points. There was no mention of it in mourinhos post match interviews. The gods of football are a lwa ys interviews. The gods of football are always behind them. You feel it, the damage, because of the distance to Manchester City but everyone is willing to fight for the points every match, until mathematically possible. Stopping city now is likely to be a monumental task. The post match melee perhaps a convenient diversion for united, who we re convenient diversion for united, who were outplayed on their own turf, the events of yesterday on and off the events of yesterday on and off the pitch sure to be the focus of attention for a while yet. There was a brilliant game in the championship tonight as cardiff rescued a dramatic 2 2 draw at reading. The hosts went to art in the first half with an own goal, and this. But cardiff scored two goals in the final seven minutes. The substitutes shot at the underside of the barjust crept over the line in stoppage time. Cardiff now stay within four points of walls. Rugby, and saracens slump continues as they suffered their sixth consecutive defeat in all competitions. Beaten by claremont over on in the champions cup this evening, that game had been called off due to snow in north london, with claremont describing the way it was rescheduled as absurd. But that did not stop them crashing the home side 46 14. After a day on ice, following confusion, frustration and we booked accommodation, time for one of the biggest games of the champions cup so biggest games of the champions cup so far. Saracens did not seem to have adjusted to the rearranged kick off time, caught cold as claremont bowburn wandered past them. 0wning pay back three points, at one point this was going to be played behind closed doors. It seemed as though saracens could have done with a privacy. They did manage to wrestle back a penalty try but claremonts one man machine tore into them again. The winger dismantled saracens frozen foundations. Saracens defence, known as the wolf pack was strangely scattered. Inca pable of known as the wolf pack was strangely scattered. Incapable of stopping the opponents going where they wanted. It will 2015 was the last time they lost in europe, the congress that day, now the congress once more. Perhaps the end of an era. John higgins but his surprise loss behind him to beat his opponent 4 1 in the first round. Four time champion higgins was beaten finalist last year. When it comes to footballers and statues in their honour, the results have been, well, mixed. Think back to that Cristiano Ronaldo bust, how could you forget it . In all his glory at madeira airport for all to see. Lets be honest, it doesnt look much like the real thing, does it . This time it is Diego Maradonas turn. Here is the argentinian legend unveiling his own statue in kolkata, doing the honours with a remote control. The 12 foot statue, that is 12 but, is supposed to be him holding up the 1986 world cup. More than 1000 people turned out to see the ticker unveiling, which will be put in the park in the indian city. I dont think he would have it in his living room. Quickly a think he would have it in his living room. Quicklya reminder of think he would have it in his living room. Quickly a reminder of our top story, chelsea will face five time winners barcelona in the last 16 of the champions league.
