Is Top Of The Pops still a thing? Charts?
I think the kids count the number of "downloads" that "MP3s" have these days, rather than there being a proper chart as such.

Thanks for this. Great read
He was definitely a Salad Cream kind of guy.
I like his advice on cooking steak..."Don't fucking touch it...don't prod it, don't poke it, don't even look at it"
It was also his opinion that the only cheese that should go on a burger are processed cheese slices

I find it amusing that the headline says “Clangers co-creator...”, yet every single picture shows him with Bagpuss. He had a good innings I think and a decent legacy. RIP. I loved the Clangers and Bagpuss and bought all the videos for my daughter when she was younger.
It's a sad anniversary.
