Another one gone - Brian Cant: RIP

[Yellow Fang]

My favourite Play School presenter. He made Play Away worth watching too.

Iron coffee pots and steel coffee pots
They're no good to me
If I can't have a proper cup of coffee from a proper copper coffee pot
I'll have a cup of tea

The voice of Trumpton and Camberwick Green too.

I was a bit too old for Playaway though[/QUOTE]
So you like to think. I'm mid 50s, but I watched Playaway in 1983 (?) in my friend's flat one Saturday afternoon. There was an excellent sequence of Ceasar puns.

Aw, shame.
Always liked watching him in Playaway

No! Second only to John Noakes in television heroes of my childhood and now he's gone as well.

RIP - part of my childhood.

He can rest easy in the knowledge that I've indoctrinated my 5Y/O into Trumpton.

RIP Brian. You were my absolute favourite. I love play school even more when you were on.

RIP.

I remember him for Playaway. I hadn't realised he also did three of my other favourites, Trumpton, Camberwick Green, and, as the BBC put it, 'the slightly more industrial Chigley'. Now I think about it, I do distantly recall a biscuit factory.

Lovely bloke. I feel sad. RIP Brian.

Sad news RIP Brian

 

[PaulB]

This is how I always remember him.
