Colin Bennett RIP (1944-2024)

[coyote]

A name and face that will be familiar to people of a certain generation. Known most for being Tony Hart's caretaker "Mr Bennett" it seems he died towards the end of February. RIP.

I remember him presenting "Night Shift" in the 90s and wondering to myself what's Mr Bennett from Take Hart doing up at this hour? Think he did that advert, where the bloke starts singing "there may be trouble ahead"?

Yes! I remember that too; it was weird seeing him there  . Well remembered.
