Cult Icons: Brian Cant.

BRIAN CANT - the GODFATHER of 70's CHILDRENS TELEVISION

Anyone who was a kid during the 70's and early 80's will know and love Brian Cant. Even if they can't recall his face they'll smile when they hear his voice. Along with the marvelous Derek Griffiths and Tony Hart, he was a second dad to a whole generation of children growing up during those decades. His Curriculm Vitae is unmatched - appearing in BBC tv's iconic Play School, Playaway and Jackanory to his impeccable voice work for puppet series Camberwick Green, Trumpton, Chigley and many dedicated schools programmes. He recently recieved a well deserved special BAFTA award in recognition for his work in childrens television all those years ago. A truly special individual remembered by many with retro affection.
