We are truly shocked and saddened to learn of the death of Ronnie Le Drew who brought pleasure to millions, literally generations of children over so many years. We all grew up with Zippy and George and Rainbow. And the team here at Distinct Nostalgia got to know Ronnie well. And we were planning several joint projects. Sadly they won't be happening now.

But we can all remember Ronnie with a smile - and here Ashley is talking to Ronnie over an extended 2 hour show broadcast exactly 2 years ago in July 2024. There's appearance by Zippy, George and a surprise guest along the way. Enjoy! And condolences to all Ronnie's friends and family. XXX

A Made in Manchester Production.
