Another sad day for those of us on the sitting on the tail end of the baby boom as another one of our childhood entertainers shuffles off this mortal coil. Ventriloquist Terry Hall, creator of Lenny the Lion died on 4 April, though the news seems only now to have leaked out.


Terry Hall, 1926-2007

These days it's small beer, but when I was a kid, this sort of stuff was the staple of telly entertainment. You could rarely if ever see Terry Hall's lips move. Good stuff.

I hated that lion cos you COULD see his lips move. He was the most evil thing on TV - the lion I mean, poor Terry Hall was mesmerized by that b****y lion! I hated it nearly as much as I hated pinky and perky

Pinky & Perky! Blimey! Now that takes me back. They were horrific. And as for Sooty & Sweep and that bloody simpering Soo character. Arghh! And Hector's House was utterly horrendous, but then it was French.

The Magic Roundabout, however...
