I really don’t know why I feel compelled to so something like this but, Patrick Moore’s Woodstock typewriter is broken and no one knows how to fix it. Do any of you know? If so, Chris Lintott would like to know.
I suppose its like hearing that Des Lynam has lost his moustache comb, or that Trevor Macdonald needs help with his office chair. You just want to help them out because they’re an institution. So here’s hoping he’s back and typing soon.

Just phoned my old friend Sir Patrick, who used to be my house master at school in 1947. He had his 86th birthday on 4th March. Unfortunately Patrick is now unable to use his renowned 1937 Woodstock as his hands are too weak, so much to his dislike he has had to resort to a computer keyboard. He is as active and chirpy as ever tapping away with two fingers as usual on another book after having been quite ill earlier in the year.
