RIP John "Get Down, Shep" Noakes

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Probably won't mean much to you young'uns, or to anyone not fortunate enough to have been middle-class and English 40 years ago, but this :cry:

Mine too. We got BBC here on east coast Ireland back when the postcode was W12 8QT and remember him and Shep well. RIP.

It's alright we loved him in distinctly working class Birkenhead too in those black and white TV days. RIP

They had to dub over a lot of his more "exciting" stunts (abseiling down Nelson's Column etc.) to cover up all the effing and jeffing he used to do. :lol:

RIP.

the only blue peter presenter i ever gave a s**t about was Caron Keating; i fancied her so much that i watched blue peter religiously during her tenure (a bit sad for a drug-crazed 20 year old man but i was dedicated) and was almost as upset at her quitting as i was her untimely death. still, RIP noakesy.

Apparently they discovered that the sound guy failed to record the audio for the first trip up Nelson's Column...so they had to do the whole thing over again. Not sure I'd blame him for a little salty language at that juncture.
