Spookily, was listening to this while reading this thread and Brian Trueman was mentioned just as I read about him. This is from 2 years ago, so not an obit.

I looked on the Wiki page, never realised there were so many presenters, some before they were 'famous' and others like Julie Stevens (79) had been an actress in The Avengers/Carry On Cleo before hitting the heights with Play School.

Plenty of DL material, by the look of it.
