Sad to hear that. I always found his music a bit 'mixed' - some of it was almost nursery rhyme like - but his good stuff was great. The track "May I" on Shooting at the Moon is brilliant and I find the lyrics really appealing. "May I sit and stare at you for a while? I'd like the company of your smile." Exactly how I feel when near a beautiful girl: I want the company of her smile. Brilliant.

It's been a bad week for Roobarb & Custard - Radio 5 have just announced the death of animator Bob Godfrey.

I am very upset about this, I only watched the first programme in Ever Decreasing Circles this week, and thought how brilliant he was, Roobarb & Custard was the only programme my brother & I watched together, apart from the Clangers.

But I thought National Service sorted all that kind of thing out ?After his national service in the Army, he returned to a life of crime and served four jail terms, mainly for breaking into shops.

Aye. A great idea to make them fit and give them an experience of discipline and working as a team. Weapons training would also be inspirational............

I'm sure more than one criminal of that era got their weapons and explosives experience from their time doing national service.
