Very sad . One of the stalwarts of children's tv

Sadly time moves on and folks pass away . Their legacy is the happy memories they leave behind

My children weren't big fans of Play School but loved Play Away.

He made a lot of children laugh.

"His voice was known to millions in shows such as Trumpton, his most famous line being the fire brigade call-out: "Pugh, Pugh, Barney McGrew, Cuthbert, Dibble, Grub."
