Tony's not dead, aged 77
Magnus died in 2007
Sir Patrick died 2012
Baxter Died in 2006

the purple tin

Spook_ie

Tony No awards as far as i know
Magnus honory He's Icelandic so has to be honoury
Sir Patrick yes
Baxter Only ever an OBE

So answer has to be no

Another Linked Person

The link is that they're all old men from the BBC who I don't recognise until you say their names!

Were they sacked from BBC or ITV or Radio?

the purple tin

Did they all give evidence at the Jimmy Saville enquiry?

1 Tony Blackburn
2 Magnus Magnusun
3 Patrick Moore
4 Raymond Baxter
5 Michael Aspel

Aspel also worked for ITV so link is not exclusively BBC, but moving closer to the link

Don't think so

Have another link, Eddie Waring

Hmm...Magnus Magnusson hosted Mastermind. Patrick Moore was the astronomer who hosted The Sky at Night.
Michael Aspel - This Is Your Life?
Tony Blackburn - radio DJ, or did he present something on TV too?

Without googling, I don't know who Raymond Baxter or Eddie Waring are/were.

Did they all host the same show at different points in time?

Raymond Baxter was the main front man for a show called Tomorrows World
Eddie Waring Was a rugby commentator famed for the catchphrase "Up and Under" as well as co hosting the TV show "It's a Knockout"

Use Google if you like

No they never hosted the same show, though it is possible they all appeared on "Dessert Island Discs" but that's not the link I'm looking for

Probably but not what I was thinking, all on something though is getting very close

Just for curiosity I found this site, over 1100 people given the Red Book treatment

Decided time for someone else to have a go, the missing link was

They all appeared as themselves or as parodies of them selves in various Goodies Episodes

Example

Blue Peter?
All guests on it?

Spook_ie

More examples from about 5min 30sec

Not sure who's go it is, so I'll just barge in and throw down one!




Hopefully not too difficult; if you don't know who the woman in the first picture is, your clue is:

She's a TD in the current Dáil

Judging by the women's rings she must be Flo!

Well spotted.

Second woman is

A British singer/songwriter

Here's a third link, to go with the previous two:

aaronjennings

No idea who the first person is, but the 3rd is Milan Baros, and if the 2nd person is Florence And The Machine, I'll say they all have Italian cities in their names

Well done aaron, you are correct.

First pic is Verona Murphy, Independent TD for Wexford who caused a bit of a stir with some dodgy comments about immigration when she previously ran for Fine Gael.
Second pic is Florence Welch, of Florence + the Machine.
And you've correctly identified Milan Baroš.

Verona, Florence, Milan - Italian cities.

Northern Irish actress Roma Downey (Touched By an Angel) was gonna be next if I needed another picture.

aaronjennings

I presume you want something more specific than "they're both paintings"?

Were they both stolen at some point? Pretty sure Mona Lisa was stolen and then recovered, not sure what the other painting is though.

aaronjennings

I have no idea whether either painting was stolen tbh, so that is not the answer I'm looking for
