Tony Hart sadly passed on this morning aged 83.
Quoted from His official website: "He wanted to become an air gunner in the RAF, but a slight defect in one eye made it impossible for him to be assigned flying duties, and so he decided to follow in his father's footsteps, and entered the Indian Army. He was commissioned into the 1st Gurkha Rifles, where he served until he was demobilized after the granting of independence to India in 1947".
"Tony was best known for his work with the BBC as a television artist in a variety of programmes including 'Vision On', 'Smart Hart' and 'Hartbeat'. Tony Hart's television career spanned some 50 years in total. He is known throughout the world and his programmes have been dubbed into many languages. He was involved with a number of charity auction events each year and made regular guest appearances on TV and Radio. In 1984 his BBC programme, "Take Hart", won a BAFTA (British Oscar)".
His Greatest creation was of course Morph..... The legend lives on.
