I was a fan of his work on Radio Atlanta and Radio 390, and I later worked at the BBC during 1968 -1970, when I used to 'sit in' on Mr Raven's show (and John Peel's). He was a very interesting individual and I respected him a lot. A few years later, in 1974, I became an announcer there and hoped to meet him again "on equal terms"(!), but they had already dispensed with his show. I think he was on BBC Radio London for a while. As a fan of the occult, he was, indeed, also in a few horror films (and BBC dramas) but died on 24 Apr 1997 at his remote farm on Bodmin Moor. A suitable location, I think! I am still a Chesterfield resident, and there's more about my time at the Beeb on my website here: https://jeffcooper.co.uk
