YoungWillz 21,723 Posted January 14 On 04/05/2012 at 00:23, Davey Jones' Locker said: Edith Bliss, a reporter from Simon Townsend's Wonder World, died today. I can't really recall her at all - she was on in the early days of the show. It led me to wonder about Simon himself though and his Wikipedia page has some interesting information: "In recent years Townsend has suffered three strokes. In August 2005, he told ABC TV he feared the next stroke might kill him." Pity - by all accounts he is an absolutely top bloke.
