Sigh.
Another little piece of my childhood has toddled off to the great brightly-coloured television studio in the sky, with the sad news of the death of Geoffrey Hayes, the host/chief combatant of ITV's Rainbow - a show that, quite remarkably, he fronted for twenty years (1972 to 1992).
There's a rather touching tribute to the man over at Den of Geek blog.
However, the sad demise of such an "icon" only gives me a greater excuse to post this, possibly Mr Hayes' - and the show's - finest hour!
I cried with laughter when I first saw it! [Read a transcription.]
RIP, Charles Geoffrey Hayes (13th March 1942 – 1st October 2018)
