Anubis the Jackal 77 Posted March 8, 2005 Tony Hart, couldn't get any info on his age but was in WW2 making him at least 78. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VSBfromH 74 Posted July 25, 2005 Cast of Vision On Apart from Sylvester McCoy (or "Sylveste" if you prefer), anyone know what's become of them? Tony Hart will be 80 in October, and hasn't been on our screens for some time. Not a lot of IMDB info on Wilf Lunn (a.k.a. "Wilfred Makepiece Lunn") or Pat Keysell. Haven't a clue which one played the white-coated Professor. There must be a site out there somewhere... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VSBfromH 74 Posted July 25, 2005 Oh there is... It's Prof Again leading to... Wilf Lunn (The Professor was David Cleveland, apparently) Tony Hart is "in ill health" you might be inetersted to learn... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Clive's NOT Dunn 7 Posted December 1, 2005 I was shocked to see how much Tony had 'morphed' into a very old looking man recently. He has always seemed to be a genuine sort of chap, lets hope its just the veneer cracking and underneath all is well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,684 Posted December 1, 2005 The great man's web site is still pretty lively. If you dig around you can find he graduated from Maidstone School of Art in 1950 meaning he was born no later than 1929. Has a nice house though, obviously sharp where his cash is concerned.

Lady Die 63 Posted December 1, 2005 I see his house is in Shamley Green. I'm not far from there. I'll pop round for a cup of tea & check up on his health. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He has always seemed to be a genuine sort of chap, lets hope its just the veneer cracking and underneath all is well. Tony is indeed looking his age, but he seems healthy enough. Personally I always found his TV shows incredibly tedious. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Goodnight Vienna 2 Posted December 3, 2005 Used to watch & then copy his ideas... loved "Take Hart" later on. I never drew any pictures for the gallery but always remember what a quietly spoken gent he was. Takes me back to my childhood! VIENNA xxxxx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,684 Posted October 13, 2006 Tony turned up last week to the unveiling of a Guinness Book of Records winner, some art students had created the World's largest calligraphy brush. Apparantly looked chipper and swapped stories with people, turning in an energetic performance for an octagenarian. His reminiscences are promised in a Kent local paper next week. I have my spies on it but it's likely to indicate his faculties are working as well as his ageing body. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In the old days art students smashed the limits of traditions, pushing the avant garde. Now they create the world's largest calligraphy brush.

He has always seemed to be a genuine sort of chap, lets hope its just the veneer cracking and underneath all is well. How sad. I always enjoyed vision on. And old Morph was ahead of his time. I was always sh*te at the art though. I'll keep watching Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drive-by Flatterer 1 Posted October 13, 2006 Morph was OK, but the other one( Grey coloured?) should've been squashed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dr Hackenslash 25 Posted October 13, 2006 Morph was OK, but the other one( Grey coloured?) should've been squashed. Was it Chas? Tony Hart is a genuinely nice and charming chap. He was one of the last in a long line of gentleman presenters for children and it's sad that we will never see his like again. In all honestly, what would you prefer your kids to watch - Tony Hart, with his perfect RP voice, or Dick and Dom, etc. A top chap indeed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Octopus of Odstock 2,217 Posted October 13, 2006 Morph was OK, but the other one( Grey coloured?) should've been squashed. Morph & Chas died last year in the Aardman Studio fire. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
