Seventies Man

Patrick died in 2012 and although he was 89 I always thought this guy would out live me. I remember watching the Moon landing on BBC1 in 1969 and watching him explain all about the moon. In the seventies I would watch The Sky At Night and try to learn lal about the moon.

Patrick would appear on TV shows playing the Xylophone and was often a guess on Christmas editions of The Morecombe and Wise show and The Generation Game. I know he spanned before and after the 1970s but he was a TV hero to me in the 1970s.

I remember that Generation game. He and others were dressed up as Santa and the contestants had to guess the celebrity.

Yes he was an entertainer for sure and very good on the xylophone, or was it the glockenspiel?

I watched the BBC tribute the other day. I never knew the man was a war hero too. What a guy.
