I'm sure that having to cope with Gus was one of the tests for new presenters - some of whom didn't look too happy about the idea!
(Memories of Westward TV when I was 11!)
Beags, good point on the hops, I was confusing with the 'magic background' screen option kids used to write in for their birthday treat. I've now done a google-based refresher course which conjured up names of some of Gus' fabulous co-presenters: Gilly Miles.....Fern Britton, Ruth Langsford, Ian Stirling, Judi Spiers. To pass the test they all needed to have a wicked sense of humour and many of them occasionally came flying on various Westward/TSW TV news features down in the West Country. Gus is in his late 50s now and was last seen at Flambards Theme Park near Helston !!!
