When the news broke about his fiance and then losing him so suddenly afterwards, I was heartbroken. Mark had such a lively and engaging personality, he'll always be one of my favorite presenters.
By the time Chris Cowey took over, "Top Of The Pops" became shite, when loads of Cheesy pop acts were dominating the show every week, and naff dance acts. I decided to close the doors on this show at the end of 1999. Chris Cowey just didn't have a clue He was crap.
