RPM pays tribute to Barry Sheene
Network Ten's RPM program, which returns to air this Sunday (16 March), will pay tribute to Barry Sheene in a special 90-minute episode.
Sheene sadly passed away on Monday, 10 March in a Gold Coast hospital. The 52-year-old was diagnosed with cancer late last year. Each week on RPM in segment two, Barry joined host Bill Woods RPM to discuss the week in motorsport. It is fitting, then, that segment two this Sunday be a dedication to the amazing life and career of Barry Sheene whose passion for motor sport, touched so many. |

I hope they pay more respect to Baz than Tim Webster did when he made the announcement on Monday about his passing.
You could clearly see that robot did not give a dam at all and was pretty much ho humming the event - I have never been so offended by anything I've seen on TV before. If it had have been one of his cricket/football/tennis/golf playing boyfriends it would have been a different story alltogether. |

Buckshot you think that is terrible, in the Melbourne Herald-Sun they have a TV guide on Wednesday's and in the it had on the program for RPM as returning and being hosted with Bill Woods and Barry Scheene. I thought that was an absolute disgrace. Someone needs to be disaplined for that shocking mistake or oversite.

The thing that really upset me though about Tim Websters attitude is that he would have personally known baz and have spoken to him or had dealings on countless occasions as they both work in the Channel 10 Sport department !
The media really treats motorsport like a redheaded stepchild...makes me sick. Did anyone see the article in one of the weekend editions of the Daily Telegraph were they had a photo of Williams F1 driver Juan Carlos Montoya ? Last edited by Buckshot; 13 Mar 2003 at 08:54. |

I suppose in NSW Buckshot you would get just NRL in the media, in Melbourne we have to put up with the AFL shoved in our faces. I used to like the AFL but I can't stand it now. Thank god I've got heaps of videos to watch and old mags to read to keep my motorsport passion going.
RIP Barry, you will never be forgotten. |

I can also never understand why Sports Tonight will show the NRL, the AFL, the cricket (in it's off season!), golf, tennis, yak racing and then maybe a V8 story. V8's are their sport, they helped put it where it is today yet they might give it 30 seconds at the end of Sports Tonight if you're lucky. Somebody here has mentioned it before in another thread and it has always stuck in my head as funny - how many times did you here Matty White say during a V8 telecast last year "...and coming up on your home of motorsport - AFL !" |

I agree that Bill Woods had a very hard job, and i never thought i would see the day that the normally emotionless Woods would shed a tear. But it shows what a character Barry Sheene was that Bill Woods, Russel Ingal, others and certainly most people on this board would reduced to tears.
Well done channel 10. Well done Bill Woods, and goodbye Barry Sheene. |

It's one of the bigger losses to Australian Motorsports in recent times to lose Barry Sheene, but congratulations to him on leading the life he did.
I think the way he's held himself through life is something for his family and friends to be proud and grateful for. I know alot of motorsport fans think he was about as good a guy that ever raced or got in front of the camera. |

Just watched it as my wife and I were out and I taped it.
Bill Woods did a great job in delivering such a hard and emotional segment. We have lost a great icon to this country and a forward commentator on 10 which made watching the V8 taxi's interesting.

Bill Woods has just aired had to do something on national television that no one reading these strings would like to have done. The dignity and pride he represented for our recently deceased icon was both moving and worthy.
Well done Bill Woods and I for one will never say a bad thing about your commentry again. Good Bye Barry Sheene and may your bike in heaven be the one of your dreams> our great country lost a great man. |

Great tribute by RPM, my tear ducts struggled to stay shut during some of it. Russell look particularly upset, his message at the AGP last week to Baz, on hindsight, was really moving

Emotional and moving are the two words that come to mind concerning that tribute to Barry Sheene. There would not have been one dry eye in the studio or in living rooms around Australia watching that.
The ultra-professional Bill Woods was even reduced to tears, but seeing how close he and Barry were, I was surprised he even managed to get through segment one. I'm not one to bag out Woods, I think he tries his best, but my estimation of the man has gone up after getting through what must have been his toughest job ever - saying goodbye to a great mate on live TV. All three segments dedicated to Barry's life were well-crafted and researched and purely emotional. They showed the true man Barry was - the extrovert character, the fierece competitor, the great mate and also the family man at heart. The interviews at the end were heart-warming and glowing examples of how everyone rallies when someone so close to so many people is taken. I will agree that Russell looked particularly upset during his interview, while others such as Mick Doohan looked to be struggling to get through it at times. That was the impact of Sheene... Barry will be missed by one and all. But he's now in heaven with giants of motorsport... |

Very well Done Channel 10 - Couldnt Fault it.
Felt really sad for Billy Woods to have to go on the show he has Kinda Co hosted with Baz for so long and host a tribute to the man. Pleased to hear that the V8s will pay respect to him on the grid at Adelaide. Expected that but its great to have it confirmed. Baz was just such a great bloke- it would be hard to find ANYONE with a serious Bad thing to say about him. |
