Special Award But alongside the fun of those early programmes, great care was taken to educate as well as entertain, to remain inclusive just as the wider society was becoming more aware of its breadth and diversity. “One of the main rules of those Play School days,” Cant notes, “was that we should play to the camera as though we were talking to one child, in whatever circumstance. It could be somebody in a tower block, a Brian nice semi-detached somewhere, or a Royal palace. You had to phrase everything so, whoever was watching it, they felt you were talking to them.” And there lies the great skill of a man who began his performing career as an actor in rep, and managed to Cant successfully combine presenting children’s television with roles in a succession of popular dramas including The Long Way Home, No Hiding Place and Doctor Who – in one episode of which he was killed by a Dalek. The views of his generation of presenters on modern children’s television hit the headlines recently, after an appearance on Radio 4’s Reunion programme, though he is too much of a gentleman to dismiss the well-loved star from the world of children’s appeal of modern exponents out of hand. “Well I don’t television can find themselves with a wide and watch a lot of it,” he says. “But it sometimes seems that sometimes surprising fan base.

It’s incredible the effect it had was captured perfectly by James May, who eulogised him on people.” in a recent Daily Telegraph article. Now a genial 77-year-old, Cant has enjoyed a long “I never want to meet Brian Cant,” the Top Gear acting career in television and theatre, working alongside presenter wrote, “in fact I was once at an event where I such names as Richard Briers, Tony Robinson, Patricia thought Brian Cant might have been in attendance, so Hodge and Barry Cryer.
