So many memories of watching him and his exploits on Blue Peter (I grew up watching that golden team of John Noakes, Peter Purves and Valerie Singleton/Leslie Judd) and then on Go With Noakes. Health and Safety was different in those days...remember him climbing up to the top of Nelson's Column?He did not say you will not be storm tossed, you will not be sore distressed, you will not be work weary. He said you will not be overcome.

He was my 'Golden Age' of BP presenters, Mondays and Thursdays are still my days of choice if something has to be done twice a week. I, however, preferred the silliness of Crackerjack. DDHave you got the despatches? No, I always walk like this. Eddie Braben0

Loved it best when Leslie Crowther was the hostHe did not say you will not be storm tossed, you will not be sore distressed, you will not be work weary. He said you will not be overcome.

It's sad to think his last days were spent in the mists of dementia. When he went missing some months ago, then found in a pipe, or storm drain. Very scary time for his family. Also remember him breaking down on TV when he announced the death of his beloved Shep.
