Yep, sad news.
Sadly we're going to start losing a lot of these guys of that generation as they rapidly approach their allotted four score on the planet.

I thought it was three-score-and-ten? Maybe the saying got upgraded for modern life expectancy...

Geoffrey Hayes from Rainbow has died
Geoffrey Hayes, who hosted long-running children's programme Rainbow, has died aged 76.
The actor and TV presenter's manager Phil Dale said in a statement to the Press Association: "It is with great sadness that the family announce that Geoffrey passed away in hospital with his wife, Sarah, and son, Tom, by his side.
Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

That's quite sad.
I grew up living three doors up from him, we used to see him when we went door to door collecting for Children In Need. A bit of a misery to be perfectly honest, but Rainbow was a childhood favourite.
Mike the barman from Only Fools lived on the corner of our road as well (think he's dead too actually come to think of it...)

seems a lot of people on your street die off....
The 70s - brilliant decade. Given the PC we are drowning in today we need this sort of shite more than ever

I might be wrong, but I think that clip was something they and the crew knocked together as a joke not intended for broadcast.

I believe he worked at the Sainsburys near me* for a time. Either that, or it was used to film the ad he was in that goofed on it.
*Back Home, not where I am now.
And yes, Mike the barman died a few years back.

I'm within (what I consider) walking distance of that Sainsburys. Used to have a Saturday job at the Homebase too (I hated it).

A highly questionable and debatable assertion, I'd say.
My fire is more than can be made with forests,
My state more base than are the basest valleys;
I wish no evenings more to see, each evening;
Shamed, I hate myself in sight of mountains,
And stop mine ears, lest I grow mad with music.
