He was the best and definitive childrens presenter. Changed the way that childrens programs were presented - never patronising, but always being childish-funny.

I only found out in his obituraries that he also created The Herbs, brilliantly brought to life by Oliver Postgate, and very fondly remembered. Although I must have been 6 or 7, they stick in my mind.

I too loved watching The Herbs and didn't realise Michael Bond created them.
I still sometimes sing,"I'm a rather fat feathery owl called Sage, I am using my wing to turn over the page."
Just me then.

Very sad to hear of his death. I always enjoyed his programmes; his dry sense of humour could make even a non-film-buff like me take an interest in the silver screen.
May he rest in peace.

A moment of silence for Rocket J. Squirrel & Cindy Lou Who (who is no more than two). At least now June Foray and Mel Blanc can be together delighting the Heavenly Host with their voices.

Sorry to hear about both these gentlemen - their TV characters were part of my (fast-disappearing) youth.
I remember my mum having a bit of a thing for Robert Hardy's voice, and that started me off on listening more intently to actors' voices, and deciding which ones I'd be happy to listen to reading the phone book. Mr. Hardy was one of them.
May they both rest in peace.

I think S&S will have to wait until tomorrow. Several storm systems just blew in and collided. I don't think I've ever seen this much rain fall at once (in addition to fierce winds). Power outages are being reported throughout the Phoenix area, so probably not a good time to watch television.
