David Dunseith was Talkback . Charismatic , witty, highly intelligent and informed. He was a tough act to follow . May he rest in peace.

To hear David announce "This is Talkback" for years - you knew the best show on the radio was to begin and he will always be associated with the signature tune. A great presenter and a good man.

I am so very sad to hear about David. I always listened to him. Sometimes he would have irritated me when he interviewed someone, then I would have thought "good man" when he got it "right". He managed to be on neither 'side' or saw each equally! A wonderful presenter. A great loss to us and to the BBC.

My sympathies to David's family and all his friends at Radio Ulster. David was like Lady Diana, we all felt like we knew him, yet never met him. He will be missed and mourned by many. RIP David.

David was a brave and fearless presenter. He made Talkback his own, he was an integral part of the changes that have taken place in the North.

David Dunseith's demise leaves a painful chasm. An irreplaceable luminary, I rarely missed his show which, in our disfigured society, was a calming and pacifying balm in our midst.

I remember once someone from animal charity rang Talkback and was chatting about litter of abandoned pups they had rescued. David told her to stop describing them or he'd be down after the show to take them all home with him.
