Default Tony Hart passed away


BBC NEWS | UK | TV presenter Tony Hart dies at 83

At least he didn't have to live long not being able to draw like he was the last few months.

Inspired generations to pick up pencil and paint

83's not a bad age considering the average life expectancy of a uk male is now in the mid to late 70's.
Still sad though

I have the artistic talent of an amaoeba but I always enjoyed watching his creations when I was a child.

Apart from when they introduced the Mr. Bennett character, who was just annoying.

Apparently he was doing art programmes on TV for over 50 years! Talk about someone who touched a lot of people.

Shame. He was at my work just last month at the launch party of a new title.






Well done to the OP for beating SSU to it.
