Former children’s TV presenter Tony Hart has died at the age of 83.
He’s probably best remembered for hosting art shows like Vision On, Take Hart and Hart Beat
In September last year, he told a magazine that he was no longer able to draw after suffering two strokes. He officially retired in 2001.
Speaking at the time, he explained: “It has been my lifetime passion, but I endeavour to stay cheerful as there is nothing to be done about my condition.”
He added: “My aged heart is warmed by the lovely letters and emails I receive, especially when they tell me that my work on television inspired the writers to become artists.”
He was the guy that got interested in drawing when I was much younger. I never really followed it up, but I do still enjoy doing the occasional sketch.

I got into blogging quite late in life, not publishing my first post until 2004 – well into my 40s! My lifelong love of technology and communication (in all its forms), together with a fondness for the art of writing seemed to be the perfect combination to contribute a few words to the online community. But I’m no Samuel Pepys! If you’re looking for deep and meaningful comments on a variety of subjects, then you’ve arrived at the wrong site! I only pen for pleasure! On average, my posts appear about twice per month, covering family & friends, cinema visits, eating out, holiday experiences and techy stuff. Oh, and as this is my hobby, there are no sponsored links nor adverts here – it’s all done with love!
I hope you find it enjoyable, interesting and occasionally, even helpful!
