Absolute f**king legend. I remember seeing him doing an interview long after his Blue Peter stint, and he was asked about Shep, and she'd only recently died. Noakes was in tears, I was in tears and even my dad 'had a Johnny Cash' moment. One of my few heroes. I'd have had you down as more of a Magpie man, Jamie.

Used to do amazing stunts on Blue Peter which Elf'n'safety would never countenance now. The star of the show (along with Shep). Another bit of my childhood gorn.
He was Blue Peter. No presenter since has gone anywhere near to his calibre and a seemingly all round decent family guy.

Another sad loss he was a great bloke and gave thousands of kids and grown ups hours of enjoyment many times over. RIP you have earned it.
Supported Palace for over 69 years since the age of 7 and have seen all the ups and downs and will probably see many more ups and downs before I go up to the big football club in the sky. |

Plus we couldn't afford a dog (which might have been a cunning lie by my parents), so I was invested in the Blue Peter pets by proxy thing. Being a certain age, that dog was Shep. John Noakes was a bit of a hero of mine, as he was a bit of an outdoors guy just like my dad. Things like science and stuff didn't really interest me until I left school.

Everything I know about gardening is from Percy Thrower. Everything stupid I did as a kid was probably from watch John Noakes doing something dangerous. Only Johnny Morris ranks higher.

At the gates of heaven, St Peter is struggling with a wilful Shep.

What with Roger Moore and Geoffery Bayldon going in the last few weeks, it's been a bad time for TV heroes. At least we have them on film.

At the gates of heaven, St Peter is struggling with a wilful Shep. Lovely thought. John's opening words at the gates: 'Sit down Shep!' to which his faithful companion resolutely follows much to the relief of St.Peter, and the two are happily reunited in an altogether better place. If only, as befitting the legend of children's BBC.
