John Noaks Looking at British Comics 

John Noakes died today, he was my hero as a kid growing up. He inspired me to have a very adventurous young life. Looking back now I realise what a brave and enthusiastic man he was as well as an excellent performer. He was also very funny. Sometimes you miss aspects of that when your a child. Mr Noakes Sir, you were brilliant at what you did. RIP

Reunited with Shep. Rest in peace chaps and thank you for the fun, the education and the memories.

RIP John. You was my favourite.

This is from a live edition of Blue Peter broadcast on Thursday 2nd March 1972. Also on that edition were Egyptian weavers and their tapestries, a film called 'Underground At Night' which featured Peter, and Fang the Ferret.

man. getting a copy of my beano comic was a hightlight of my saturday morning back in the '70's. dennis the menace was my favourite. i even joined The Dennis The Menace Fan Club 😂. Thank for posting. I watched during the John Noakes, Valerie Singleton & Peter Pervis years. RIP John. The good ole days of telly :)

Look at shep looking at him LEGEND

John was always my favourite Blue Peter presenter

I remember this episode. thinking of you today John as you pass on to the other side.

Would loved to have met John and Shep in their prime. God bless John and thank you for all the fun when I was a kid 😎😎😎

I would have loved to have heard his thoughts on the Eagle comic (with Dan Dare) as it would have probably been his type of read and so a person recollection of when he too was a boy.
