not really a surprise.

very sad state of affairs

 

[SJ's Love Monkey]

Really sad stuff

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

Does this mean they'll be dusting off Floella Benjamin or Brian Cant to fill in!?!

 

[Djmiles]

R.I.P

 

[Beach Hut]

Sadly seemed to be the likely outcome, very sad

 

[ChapManiA]

During moments of extreme grief and guilt, families should have the power to have their loved ones detained somewhere until they get better.

I think we all saw this coming.

 

[Djmiles]

Does this mean they'll be dusting off Floella Benjamin or Brian Cant to fill in!?!

He left TV a few months ago, so I doubt it.

 

[Frutos]

Unfortunately not a surprising ending to the whole thing.

Sad situation from start to finish.

Blimey - doesn't seem like last week that i was watching him on SMART as a kid!

Sad news.

Sad news.

Is that not because it WAS only last week you were watching him??

RIP

Sad but kinda predictable unfortuanetly

 

[Withdean Wanderer]

No, because Smart stopped YEARS ago

 

[JP20]

very sad news.
agree with everyone though - was fairly inevitable after his disappearance

 

[Twinkle Toes]

Brian's not in the running. Apparently he Cant do it..

 

[tip top]

Coke, sleeping pills and booze.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Sad thing for sure. On one level at least. The girl was beautiful, the middle-aged fuckup bloke with the sadfuck dyed hair had a more beautiful trophy g/f than he could ever have expected in his mid-life crisis. Both of them were WAY old enough to have acquired smartness. Shame the BBC don't do a course for their kids TV presenters on The Correct Use Of Coke.

Oh well

 

[Twinkle Toes]

Kids TV Presenters must be bleedin' thick these days if they don't know how to do Coke correctly TH. I couldn't see the old schoolers not being able to work out what to do with it!!

I see what u mean though. Shame neither of 'em had understood sense in the word moderation.

 

[Lush]

He lost a beautiful girlfriend and his TV career - possibly any sort of career - the same night. I guess you don't know what you've got - and what you should be taking care of - until it's gone.

 

[Statto]

Tragic.
