David Leckie made his name in an era when television network bosses were larger-than-life characters who could attract as much attention as on-screen stars.
Leckie was a colossus of the industry, stomping across and through its landscape like a dinosaur - which is what some detractors thought he was.
He was big, bold, brash and boisterous. Often blistering and sometimes boorish. Harsh critics called him a bully boy but he could also be a charmer.
Leckie was a noted drinker and prone to profanity, almost as well known for his long lunches as being one of few men to run two television networks.
