I remember him on Get Fresh. And later he was Presenter of How2. :-)

Always had that toothy grin and lisp

Many thanks for that Muffy. Doesn't he look well. He must have been mid-40's when he did that piece. Even got Heikki Kovalienen to laugh :-D :-D

He was only a teenager when I knew him. A roadie for a band called The Alarm based in Holywell - where he lived then. Very keen on flying motorised kites off Moel Famau with his lovely dad. After that his career on kids TV mainly really took off. Never off our screens, it seemed.

Hasn't changed a bit - in looks or character. You never stopped laughing when he was about :-D

I don't know him, John. Neither do I know of the relevance of the You Tube clip and a shovel. I am going off to do some things which are simple and pleasureable and don't need much brain power :-D

What have I done wrong? Have simply asked if anyone can remember someone who was on TV a lot a few years ago. And if they still see him on TV or know about him :-(

What impression does it give to those who would like to post but are a bit nervous of saying wrong thing?

Did you ever feel that you were out of step with the rest of the world? That's what I feel when I read some threads recently:-(

Used to know this star of the 80's. Have not heard of him for years..

Do any remember him? He was a great character. Any sightings of him recently?
