Tony Hart!

No longer with us now. Died at 83, much respect to the man. Could inspire us kids to get creative in a way late 90's/early 00's bright young zany presenters couldnt dream of.

Legend.

Rip

he died of a art attack...

RIP Tony, that guy was an absolute legend.

sad news

An era of flamboyant neckwear is officially over. Time to reclaim the cravat.

But more importantly, his good friend and agent is called Roc Renals.

I had a picture in "the gallery" when I was 5 or 6.

the prize was a couple of book tokens

Tony Hart was inspirational. he played a part in me going to art college and becoming a photographer.

he wore his cravat like a dandy
R.I.P

R.I.P to the fella, i did a lot of artwork because of that man, was a huge fan of morphe when i was a kid and i thought he was a hugely creative person,

think there needs to be some re-runs of his shows as a mark of respect

The best parts of his shows were just him... having a really great time executing one of his crazy ideas, usually time-lapse footage.

He was omnipresent in my life as a kid. All I did between 7-10 years was paint and draw, like 6 hours a day!

Was Morph animated by Nick Park?

No but it was done by Lord and Sproxton, the original founders of Aardman Animations, Nick Park didn't join Aardman until the mid 80's. Morph was Aardman's first 'big break' though.

I used to like Morph's mate Chas who was always the naughty one.

Thanks... good answer. :-)

What was with his harem though?

what a guy. I have a book of his here and was really sad to hear about this. Worth a dozen Neil Buchanons.

Please... not in the same sentence. Those ITV presenters are substandard filth.

What a legend! I got an aluminium mini maglight as a prize off him when i was about 10 for making a recycled aluminium Christmas decoration. Was well proud of that. Still got it right here in this room with me now!

+1 for Vision On.

Just found a quality clip of Take Hart with some proper funky music

He didn't get crushed under a giant stapler did he?! Sad. That's Postgate and Hart in quick succession. Does someone wanna check Floella Benjamin is ok?

Fuck what about Derek Griffiths?

Yeah, but what was with his harem though?

Who, Derek Griffiths?

No, he was gay, wasn't he?

Im pretty sure Floella is fit as a fiddle and not very old.

Fuck what about Derek Griffiths?

I saw him on the tellybox quite recently, some retrospective of children's TV. I think he's still alive.
