Fyfe Robertson, the great TV reporter

[@001Geoff]

I remember Fyfe Robertson when I was in my teens, and to be quite honest I think that he was one of the best.

[@alanfrost4976]

Im married to his great niece. I used to watch him in this series all the time, she was growing up in the Antipodes!

[@LJones20110501]

One of the most distinctive men to ever grace our TV screens. Good auld Robbie !

I have long remembered Fyfe Robertson from my childhood,his voice is so recognisable.I was glued to the tv whever he was on.He could make the most boring of subjects sound interesting.

[@dinerouk]

So do I remember him and I impersonated him to my schoolmates, in my schooldays.

I used to love this guy on tonight

[@davidhawkeye2298]

I remember him coming to my secondary school A bey Grange Leeds in the late sixties with the Tonight team. They were filming a class following the then recently introduced CSE curriculum. I managed to get Fyfe’s Autograph.

[@phylliselias]

I remember him doing a report from a few yards up from my home, and saying that he was reporting from the Dirtiest Place in Britain. The locals were outraged, but he was absolutely right. He was standing next to a blast furnace which belched out black smoke filled with thick grit every hour, but the locals assumed he meant they were dirty, instead of which, much to the amazement of people who didn't live within that 'fall out' zone, they would have sparkling white washing and their houses, which had to be dusted 2 or even 3 times A DAY, were always kept immaculate.

"Aye, she puts oot a good washing" was a compliment.

[@Kohl423]

Like others of a certain age I loved to hear Fyfes voice with that beautiful, light, highland accent. Always interesting and a typical character of his time.

[@rob16248]

Evidently he adopted a Gorbals affectation.

[@alejandrayalanbowman367]

"or is it?" He would always make a statement and immediately question it.

[@EdinburghAndy]

I was expecting the car to belong to Brian Cant. :)

[@smileycat2002]

We called our son Fyfe, he's a great man isn't he!
