Morph's dad has cleaned his last brush

[TVC]

Tony Hart was one of the central pillars of my childhood TV world.

Top guy!

He was a favourite with us when growing up too. RIP.

Apparently they got pensioners to open the mailbags for the gallery and it was they who decided who went on the gallery, all for the price of tea and biccies.

Did anyone get a picture shown on telly? My butterfly never made it.

I remember watching 'Vision On' as a child...

 

[Night Train]

That is a sad loss, he was very inspirational.

I remember watching 'Vison On' too.

 

[Cathryn]

That's so sad. I loved Morph.

 

[Baggy]

Another fan of Take Hart and Vision On. None of my pictures ever made it on to Take Hart either.

He didn't invent Morph though, that was Aardman animation:

That's so sad. I loved Morph.

Tony Hart has died, not Morph.

I got on Take Hart once! A Kandinsky-esque explosion of geometric confusion. I thought it was just a load of coloured boxes at the time though.

Used to love it when Morph used a pencil to pole vault over stuff.

Digressing...

Wilf Lunn. He was on 'Vision On'

He`d been missing for ages and will be missed forever! A bit more of our childhood gone west.

 

[Slowgrind]

He had an assistant at one time who signed for the deaf is she still around? And what about Mr. Bennet?

 

[Maz]

Very sad news indeed. His artwork was great and I loved the gentle way he came across on screen.

 

[HLaB]

It very sad that somebody you grew up with (albeit on TV) dies , RIP Tony.

I always thought he was a bit 'strange' in a middle class officer-type patronising kind of way, but I liked Mr Bennett so usually watched the show. Never liked Morph at all, I always wanted someone to squash him and stick a pencil in his head.

Still, strange as I thought he was, it's sad to hear of his death.
