Shame.  Seemed a nice fella and ended up living local-ish to me.  Saw him drinking (Orange Juice) at in Faccombe (of Faccombe Haul 100 fame).

He opened my friend's cafe, the Tea-Cosy, nearby.  Another cycling hub.

My bro' met him once (prolly when he was doing a season at the local theatre). He and Maggie signed his autograph book. I was surprised to read that Cheggers was only 60.

Hugo Chegwin, who plays DJ Beats in People Just Do Nothing, is a relative.

Oh, I'm sad about this. Saturday Swap Shop and Cheggers Plays Pop were some of my favourite childhood viewing, and every so often there'd be a children's film foundation film or similar on telly, with him acting in it when he was a yoof. RIP Cheggers.

Me and my sister went to one of the Swapshop things when Cheggers was there when we were kids. I think it was at York rugby league ground. Cant remember what we swapped for what though.

I think you'll find it's a bit more complicated than that.

Finally someone whom I've heard of has died. It'll be Rod Hull next.

A formative part of my childhood too. Like most people, I've repressed the Naked Jungle (which was as close as we Brits got as a national to the individual shock of turning on a random German TV channel after 11pm, which pretty much guaranteed an out-of-context display of curly love gardens). Bonus points though for pissing off the Daily Mail, who couldn't handle Keith's hat-concealed cock. He probably wouldn't have wanted them to.

You couldn't surpass Cheggers Plays Pop.

I thought Rod Hull had an unfortunate gravitational experience a while back.

He was brilliant in Extras. The clip of the bloopers Cheggars plays cock never fails to make me smile  :)

Do you still have your sister? Or did you swap her for a spirograph?
