😢A lovely tribute to John Blackman, short, simple and sweet and just what he would have liked. I’m sure that he will be up there cracking jokes with Ernie Carroll and other TV stars like Bert, Don and Graham. Condolences to his family and The Hey Hey It’s Saturday cast/alumni.

He was such a funny bugger. I don't think it's possible to replace someone like John.
