    RIP John and may I be the first to recall the finest Blue Peter moment and
    your part in it - Lulu the elephant.

    Those of us of a certain age will recall John Noakes with fond memories. Used to love getting home from school and settling down with jam sandwiches and watching Blue Peter - innocent times back then.

    It's the shreeking/screaming/drivel etc. Like a bunch of 12yr old schoolgirls, but aged anything from 20 to mid thirties..

    How crazy was this. No safety gear.

    My window cleaner won't use a ladder for the upstairs windows these days. John Noakes climbs Nelson's Column on ladders taped together and without even a safety helmet, let alone ropes and stuff

    It's an internet fad type thing that whenever Arron Ramsey scores someone famous dies soon afterwards.

    I think Gregg Allman's death was pinned on Ramsey. So he's not liable for Noakes

    RIP to someone who was one of life's great enthusiasts - pretty sure he'd be the first name I'd think of if I was asked to list Blue Peter presenters.

    Apart from the crazy ascent of Nelsons column didn't he also go down the Cresta Run upside-down in a 4 man bobsleigh?

    RIP. Loved BP with these four. I was in love with Lesley Judd until Grease came along and ONJ supplanted her as the fantasy future wife in my innocent, pre-pubescent imagination. John Noakes came across as authentic and unpretentious. I loved him too.
