Met his co presenter, Val Singleton, many years back. Sounds like he was a tricky chap in real life...Noakes wasn't his real name apparently.
His successor, Simon Groome, lives near us. Made some of the best double entrendres ever on children's TVs. Think one was about (door) knockers and another about hedge laying. Must check them out. :?
