Tony Hart Is Dead

TONY HART, THE artist and children's television presenter and creator of Morph, the animated clay man who lived in a pencil box, has died.

I've got warm fuzzy memories of watching Mister Hart as a little 'un (yes I was once one) on his television programmes, things like Vision On, Take Hart, Hartbeat and Smart Hart. It wasn't the coolest thing on kids TV - it wasn't Thundercats or Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - but sometimes you need a bit more than cool, unless your goal is to be on reality TV when you grow up. Or work in finance.

Thank you Mister Hart, you were amazing.
