 AYUP! In praise of John Noakes
John Noakes, trained to the max as part of this bobsleigh crew, finished the Cresta Run hurtling along the ice and over the finish line flat on his back with his buttocks acting as a brake.
John, still fired up on the adrenalin of reliving the Cresta Run, leaps up from the couch and drops his pants on live telly to show every kid in Britain that his right cheek is just one huge bruise in livid tones of grey.
John, with that big daredevil grin of his, would have just sky-dived straight down through it and landed squarely on his feet without a scratch, ready to have another go at it all over again (with maybe a bruise or two to show for his adventures).

John is a natural wordsmith and most of the time he has chosen song as the vehicle to bear his words.
John's father Gordon and his uncle, Miller, both played in the Dunfermline amateur orchestra (there is a sepia-coloured photograph of them both in the Dunfermline museum c1908) whilst his aunt Phyllis trained in Leipzig as a concert pianist.
John's father wasn't the greatest at encouraging others but, in the land where "it's no bad" is considered high praise, perhaps this is not surprising.

John was originally an actor, as most BLUE PETER presenters were, and after an apprenticeship on the likes of Z CARS, he was plucked to join Chris Trace and Val Singleton in 1966, allowing the show to be presented by three people rather than two.
Noakes was the logical choice if you wanted to someone to swim the Serpentine on Christmas Day or bomb down the Cresta Run at a hundred miles per hour, and he could do it all while providing furiously gabbled commentary.
Indeed when Noakes left in 1978, the show went into a downward spiral for a few years and went through dozens of presenters trying to find somebody with that special Noakes magic.
