Mr Hamer's mother, Olive Hamer said: "I think it's nice he's had the interest, he's met quite a lot of people... and I like the music."

Oh dear..

That was a brilliant item - especially when they game him a camera flesh tone reference card! I sent off for his magazine and a BBC1 ident clock back in the 90's, which is still on my wall today.
