81, Alzheimer’s and missing on the hottest day of the year over there (40C +?). Not promising, is it?

I met John Noakes in the early seventies when I was a lad and he was at the height of his Blue Peter fame. John lived not too far away and was the special guest at our village fete. Naturally I was excited at the prospect of meeting one of my TV heroes and I expected John to be fun and full of enthusiasm. Far from it, he sat behind a wooden trestle table and was grumpy and clearly didn’t want to be there, let alone meet snivelling kids like me. That was the moment that I learned that people on TV aren’t necessarily like their TV persona in real life. Now, that’s what’s called a disappointment. Thanks for the life lesson, John.
