As I was driving home today I happened upon a soundbite from John Craven on the radio (for those not from our shores, John presented a kids news show on UK television when I was growing up), which got me wondering where he was now. Now I know he does a programme called 'Countyfile', but this got me to thinking about other tv personalities that have left an imprint on me as I was growing up:
Judith Hann.Presenter of the late, great, 'Tomorrow's World'. The Gadget Show of the eighties.
Sally James.Presenter of 'Tiswas', and the first woman that ever had an effect on my gentleman's area.
Paul Darrow.Played 'Avon' in the 70's/80's tv show 'Blake's 7'
Daley Thompson.For a brief time in my life, I was convinced he was the only black man in Britain, then Benny appeared in Grange Hill.
The bloke who played Alan Carter in 'Space 1999'. Apparently his name is Nick Tate, and he was always my favourite character.Anyone got any others?
