He inspired so many.
I'm old enough to remember 'Vision On', and sent in a picture for the gallery (didn't get in), even though I was never very arty, even as a child.
That's out of order. He died from a "Take Hart" (someone took his heart).Chris Corby wrote:How ironic that he had a show called 'Art Attack' and that might be what killed him...Julie T wrote:Sad.![]()

No mention of Art Attack in there apart from an admittedly slightly ambiguous quote from Wilf Lunn, who is either getting it confused with one of Hart's shows or (more likely) is simply saying that such programmes owed their existence to the fact that Hart had shown the way much earlier.

You could have mentioned that Tony Hart was well known for his brush strokes, which is ironic as it was a brush with stroke that accelerated his decline.Chris Corby wrote:my initial pun doesn't work and I will have to withdraw it.
