Never Too Quickly, Never Too Slowly

The great Brian Cant, the voice of childrens TV has just been honoured with a Lifetimes Achievement award.

I read an interview once where he explained that as a young man, wife wife, child and mortgage, he was an out-of-work actor and money was tight. His wife encouraged him to audition for a childrens TV job [which became Playschool] All the others there were much younger, straight from RADA. The man came in and said I want you to be trains So Brian [a Dad] got on his knees and went choo!choo! [whilst the youngsters stared] He got the job the rest is history

"When I became a man I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child and they paid me for it," he said as he accepted his prize

Come on everyone, join in Pugh, Pugh, Barney McGrew�

Thanks Brian, for so much brilliant childrens TV down the years.
