A now-in-the-clear Paul Gambaccini will pick up again as a BBC Radio host next month, the Corporation has confirmed, a year on from his arrest for alleged historic sex crimes.

As previously reported, Gambaccini was told last week that he will face no criminal action relating to the claims made back in November 2013, which came to light as part of the high profile Operation Yewtree investigation. Gambaccini has always maintained his innocence, and recently confirmed that he’d be “back at work soon”.

And so he will, on 15 Nov, when he’ll resume presenting his regular series on BBC Radio 2, ‘America’s Greatest Hits’. He’ll also front the semi finals and finals of BBC Radio 4’s ‘musical mastermind’ ‘Counterpoint’, the first of which airs on 24 Nov.

Presumably he’ll also resume his position as tribute-giver-in-chief for recently deceased musicians across the BBC news network, because pop deaths are no fun at all without a Gambaccini eulogy.
