Tribute to Tony Allan from Tom Anderson Tony Allan was one of the first presenters I met when I joined Caroline in 1976. I remember arriving on the Mi Amigo for my first stint, having never been on air before. Yes I was scared shitless!Tony was introduced as Mrs Allan, Doris to his friends, and I was warned (I forget by whom), that he could be a bit of a bitch! So my first show arrived and all I wanted to do was to be left on my own to see if I could do it! In the corner of the studio sat Tony, who showed no sign of leaving, even when asked. I think he actually got perverse pleasure at the thought of watching me tremble.I asked him to leave me to get on with it, he ignored me. I demanded! He told me to ignore him! In the end, despite being the nervous new boy I politely said "Fuck off and leave me alone Tony." To my surprise he left. I did the show, and afterwards I apologised for being so rude. to which he replied that I had done the right thing and that he respected that.From that day on Tony and I got on famously. I have him to thank as my greatest influence, and for encouraging me to always push the boundaries and to speak my mind. There were many who were nervous of Tony's open Gay stance and I was constantly warned about him, however when I last spoke to Tony (on his 50th birthday,) he said that probably the reason that we had remained good friends was because he never slept with me!!We had a lot in common, same initials (T.A.), we had the same birthday, and we presented the double header on the Mi Amigo (The Sunday Joint...no it was not reffering to roast lamb!) I hope that everyone can remember Tony for all that he gave to everybody for so many years. I for one will never forget a lovely, lovely man, A fantastic, talented broadcaster and a great friend.Lots of love Tony, wherever you've gone Tom Anderson July 11th 2004 More mail - click here
