Down Shep!

 

[Inertia]

Seemed a lovely bloke, always got emotional whenever anyone asked him about Shep.

RIP

RIP John. What a man he was.

Down Shep!

Or maybe Shep down. What a shame. They dont make 'em like that any more. Alzheimer's is a terrible thing.

Damn.

Part of my childhood. Used to always look forward to Blue Peter - wasn't it Mondays and Thursdays at 5:10pm?

Never watched Blue Peter - RIP

Shep will be at the Pearly Gates wagging his tail!

Interesting obituary here:

Anyone remember the elephant with weak bladder? Classic Blue Peter.

More sad news, another Yorkshire legend sadly passed.

Much as I liked Blue Peter and his daredevil antics, my favourite show was 'Go With Noakes' where he traveled round the country by various means.

I was never a great fan but admit to being frequently impressed by his utterly fearlessness - how many other presenters would do this?

Part of my childhood as well. Sorry to see him go. Shep was also a legend.

Loved his cycling trips - I always wanted to do a long distance tour because of his example.

Most people of about 45 and upwards must have good memories of him.
