John Noakes missing from Majorcan home

I just came across this worrying news and thought other Brits may be interested , John Noakes was reported missing by his wife at 9am local time this morning , a search has been organised with local police and volunteers.

I thought he was a good presenter and always seemed up for a laugh , he became part of the nations Psyche over the years with the whole get down shep malarkey.
I hope he's just gone of on an adventure and will return safe and well later.

IT'S YOUR FAULT!! blimey proper told everyone off lol.

Just a great dude this one lol.

Good news , the BBC story has been updated with this.

Police in Andratx had been searching for Noakes, who has Alzheimer's disease, after they were alerted by the 81-year-old's wife Vicky at about 9am local time.
Local police told the BBC he was spotted by a helicopter at around 18:45 local time close to his home.
He is now in hospital and his wife is with him.

Didn't realise he was suffering so much...poor sod

A good concusion to this story.

I had the good fortune to speak to him once and he told me to F%%% off.

He was justified for doing so and am glad that he is alive and well.
