Broken Hart

That’s sad. I remember being glued to my seat during Hart Beat on early-90s Children’s BBC, before trying (unsuccessfully) to recreate some of his techniques at home. It usually resulted in paint all over the place, lots of screwed up paper where I’d made a mistake, and tears before bedtime.

(I’m also glad of the video clip on the BBC report linked to above, because it confirms that he did co-present SMart when it first started, and it wasn’t just my imagination. No-one else I’ve spoken to remembers that!)
