They’re dropping like flies. First Ricardo, now Tony Hart.
He made me want to be an artist (at least for the duration of his TV show). Sadly the fact that I’m nothing more than a mediocre doodler stood in the way of such ambitions.
First there was Vision On, then Hart Beat, and it was on Tony Hart’s shows that we saw Morph (produced by Aardman who went on to bring us Wallace and Gromit).
But for me what stands out most is The Gallery. Every week the camera would pan across a series of artworks produced by the kids who watched the show and who, judging by their contributions, were all outrageously handicapped.
I assume if there’s music at Tony Hart’s funeral that this will be it:
Yes. The gallery. Even more lasting than Morph.
Ah fuck thats so sad, I grew up trying to get one of my drawings on the gallery, tis a sad day indeed and listening to that tune brought a tear to my aging eyes!
It wasn’t me.
Plasticine doesn’t leave finger prints, does it?
Well, for once Im genuinely very sad after reading one of these RIP posts. He really did give a lot of children happy memorys and inspiration.
Wow, that music does suddenly sound sad, majestic and funereal.
Weird.
No no noOOOOO!!!! Tony Hart you were an inspiration. RIP.
Toe, knee and heart, -all gone.
And then there was that dick the other day….
First Oliver Postgate,then Rico Suavé,Now Tony Heart.Its like my childhood memories are being killed off one by one…
Ah, so sad! Though he was pretty elderly, I presume. He wasn’t exactly young when we were wee.
A nice legacy he’s left.
Thanks for the tune. It’s not funereal, SG, it’s plinky plonky sunday afternoon music!
Hart to Hart, great television.
Don’t st-hart!
Morph to Morphine
I heard he was married to Andi Peters
will be missed, grew up watching tony hart, lets bring back the reruns R.I.P
Did you know he served in the Gurkha Rifles in WW2 ?
He served with them alright, but he never drew fire on anyone.
Usually he drew it on a piece of paper or card.
was he the fella who said “helLoooooooooo”?
Morph was great though, don’t know anything else by him Ithink
Another great man gone. RIP.
I googled “Morph Porn”. Nothing…. yet.
