mint Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Pierre, I'm so glad you have posted.Here is the link that I was going to post on the forum and so I'm going to provide it anyway:http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/tv_and_radio/article5540947.eceI adored his lovely programmes and he was just so gentle and self-effacing. You never heard him raise his voice (not for him, for instance, the antics of a Wogan) but always you see the smile and the encouraging invitation to "try it for yourselves".You just knew he was a class act and a truly wonderful human being.As for Morph, Morph was so endearing.........Where would the BBC find another such as he?[:(] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooperlola Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 [quote user="sweet 17"] As for Morph, Morph was so endearing.........Where would the BBC find another such as he?[:(][/quote]I believe that Morph inspired Nick Park (Wallace and Gromit) so Tony lives on. A great childhood memory and nice to know he lived a good long life. As indeed did Oliver Postgate - a man of similar talents (in that he knew how to communicate with children whilst not boring the pants off their parents) who also died recently.
