Called to Order

The sad loss of Patrick Hannan leaves a substantial gap within Welsh public affairs broadcasting. A familiar and trusted name for those wishing to gain a no-nonsense insight into the political world, he provided clarity, balance and a touch of sardonic humour where it mattered. He had his opinions and they sometimes showed. But he always posed the questions you wanted to ask and more often than not made sure he got the answers.
Authoritative without being bullying, he set a standard of journalism over 40 years that few within his industry have been able to emulate.

I share your comment on the passing of Patrick Hannan. As he put himself, he endeavoured to have an old school approach without ever being old hat. Top man and greatly missed.
