Tributes pouring in for Richard Briers - as Tom in The Good Life and the Shakespeare roles of course. No one, so far, has mentioned his voices for Roobarb and Custard which - for me - are as significant and certainly were heard in playgrounds up & down the land in the early 70s.

"I'll get you next time!" said in that over-eager manner he'd made his own. And Custard's smarmy laugh. And great cartoon making, too, with the jumpy frames and felt pen colouring. What an antidote to today's slick CGI pap. Bob Godfrey, wasn't it?
