I remember going to Staithes and seeing Bernard being filmed for the children's programme, Old Jack's Boat.
An incredible career. Obviously a top, top bloke, as well as actor.
RIP

" Ah dare say"- was his saying when he was the porter in "The Railway Children"- my all time favourite film

I loved his reading of classics on Jackanory, so many good performances throughout a brilliant career.

Not a bad innings that gave a lot to TV and radio.

RIP

RIP. Such a long career, quite often pops up in the old black and white movies shown on BBC2 and C4 at the weekends. Childhood sadly diminishing these days.

Bordering on a national treasure status was Bernard - loved him. The voice of the Wombles, consummate Jackanory presenter, Carry On films hero in the early days, Just a lovely man who I had the pleasure to meet at Wimbledon dog track about 15 years ago.

As said above he was like your favourite uncle. Great career RIP

Wonderful memories of Bernard he was indeed a true national treasure. Bernard and John Noakes were my absolute favourites as a kid they could make anything sound interesting.

 

[Lemmy_kilmister]

He'd just done some scenes with David Tennant and Catherine Tate for the Dr Who 60th
