SIR - Reading the article on the forthcoming book about the life of the late Richard Whiteley (T&A September 5), I was saddened that the national tabloids had printed untrue facts about Mr Whiteley so soon after his untimely death.
In my opinion, he was a true Yorkshireman and totally professional in his job and loved by everyone in television, along with his many fans who watched Countdown.
It is true to say Richard Whiteley is one of many famous Yorkshire sons and the new book by his partner Kathryn Apanowicz will make far more interesting and truthful reading that any of the rubbish printed by the national tabloids, of that I am sure.
