Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

RIP Brian Cant

Another childhood legend passes away.

Brian Cant said that people [now in their 40-50's] used to go up to him to thank him for their early years. Fond memories.

Very sad - he was a huge part of my childhood, I loved Playaway - it was a weekend highlight.

Decent age. I was a big fan. I wrote him a letter when I was about 18 and thought I was going to uni in Australia (and hence would never have contact with Great Britain ever again? Folly of youth) to say thank you for all the great programmes.

Bizarrely, they played a song by him on Radio 6 last night. I thought, "That singer sounds just like Brian Cant." But obviously it couldn't be. And it was. Then they said it was in memory of the late Brian Cant. I was somewhat taken aback RIP.

Like so many people, he voiced my childhood - a sad loss, but lives on through the dvds I've got for my kids.
