Annie Nightingale CBE was a broadcaster and the first female presenter on Radio 1 and on The Old Grey Whistle Test. Annie felt that Marty Feldman has been somewhat overlooked in comedy history as one of the greats. She spotted him in a cafe in Kingsway and found him sexily attractive and loved his special brand of anarchic humour.
