What ever happened to this maths boffin of the late 70's who used to present educational maths programmes? I think he was probably overshadowed by the rise of the far sexier Carol Vorderman, though having said that, they may have overlapped and worked together at some stage.

Yes ..... THAT IS WHAT THE LINK IS FOR ..... :yawn:

The link will not, however, provide you with the information that I met him at Canley Teacher Training College in Coventry (yes ..... the same one Cliff Richard (the "pop" singer) attended) and subsequently moved into the flat above him at the notorious 36 Craven Street in Chapelfields .....

I'm too lazy to fully investigate the link, but it seems to be British forces TV - am I right?
By the way, I was always fascinated by Fred Harris - not least for his MASSIVE ears. They really are the biggest on TV. I wonder if it's really true what they say. Big ears, big... cotton buds.

Who remembers Me & My Micro? I've still got the tie-in book somewhere.

Oh right I see! Good one. Richard Orford's mug seems to be popping up everywhere lately.
