Windsor 2,142 Posted January 9, 2007 I don't think he'll see out the year. He has lost the two loves of his life. Morph & Chas you mean? No - I meant his wife and then his hands. I also meant that in a non perverse manner. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Octopus of Odstock 1,848 Posted July 20, 2007 (edited) For some reason, the Vision On thread has been locked, so I'll post an update on Tony Hart here. This blog confirms Tony is still in ill health, but he has been out & about (or was in May) & in this photo looks relatively healthy, me thinks.

Lady Grendel 137 Posted July 20, 2007 Open his thread back up, f*ck Vision On, renanme it after the main man. Done TF and renamed, mainly because I caught a bit of a programme on BBC3 a few weeks ago about 30(?) years of Swap Shop, Tony Hart was talked about and wrote a letter to be read out on air as he was too ill to attend the reunion, I was wondering if anyone has any info on his health? Could be a candidate for next year? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When I searched yesterday, I think that (and the vision on thread) was all I found, so yes, that looks like it all. Good work! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grim Reaper 183 Posted January 18, 2009 Damnit - Tony Hart made it all the way into the top 52 for this year's list but reports were just too sketchy ( ) on the state of his health. One of the closest misses in a long time Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jonny84 0 Posted January 18, 2009 I suggested him in the Suggestions Thread. Sad news. He was great on CBBC in the late 80s early 90s Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
harrymcnallysblueandwhitearmy 1,447 Posted January 18, 2009 Damnit - Tony Hart made it all the way into the top 52 for this year's list but reports were just too sketchy ( ) on the state of his health. One of the closest misses in a long time It may have been a close miss but it's still a bad miss. Quite apart from news of his ailing health being better known than some of those who made the 2009 list (BB King ffs?), Hart couldn't have fitted the classic DL demographic more perfectly. Yes, hindsight makes an expert of everyone and you can't pick 'em all, but like a few other people I had supported his nomination once or twice in the past. Anyway, I'm sure I'll get over it one day. (Edit: here's Tony at work in his classic 1970s 'slightly camp' period.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vinegar Tits 584 Posted January 18, 2009 Very sad news indeed, and I say that as someone whose picture never got on Take Hart. Tony Hart probably did more for art in the UK than any of our so-called 'artists'. And, of course, another part of my childhood gone. RIP He only got on our DDP list due to Pinter carking it, so thanks Harold! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marinade 18 Posted January 18, 2009 Tony Hart + Oliver Postage is a sad one-two in the nostalgia gut. Still, my very first points in the DDP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lady Grendel 137 Posted January 18, 2009 I was very sad to hear of his death, not unexpected though. I am consoling myself with the fact he's my joker on the DDP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thefunkyfaz 51 Posted January 18, 2009 "And now... the mortuary." Sad news indeed, but the great man is the first strike on my Wormfood Bingo list for this year. Rumour has it that Morph is going to walk behind the coffin... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Youth in Asia 1,020 Posted January 18, 2009 I was sure he was on DL. I thought his state of health was pretty well known. Much more likely than some to go this year .. ahem .. Maggie, Ronnie Biggs .. Anyway my first DDP points so not all bad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Lee Posted January 18, 2009 First Mark Speight now Tony Hart. Isn't it about time the police pulled their collective fingers out and had a closer look at the activities of Neil Buchanan? I mean, I have no physical evidence but I'm pretty sure he killed them both. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
