Hello, I wanted to let you know that my grandfather, Frank Duncan was also one of the readers on What the Papers Say for some years. He was an actor, and lived 1923-1995. He also was the voice right at the beginning of the cult show Monkey Magic – I only realised the significance of these cool facts after his death. I much enjoyed reading your articles about the show.
