Probably only the older ones can answer this one for me

I've been trying to remember the name of someone most of the day but it won't come to me. My Dad always makes reference to someone from the 50's or 60's, I think, who used to have his own DIY programme on the BBC. I seem to recall that he had one of those odd names where his first name could easily have been his surname, I think it might have been "Heath" but I can't be sure.

I can't ask my Dad cos he's away for the week. I've had a search on the internet for him but can't find anything. Does this ring any bells with anyone?

 

Oliver Heath is your man.

 

No, ignore that.

 

Heath Robinson perhaps??

 

Barry Bucknell

He had his own TV programme in 62-3 modernising a semi in a South London suburb.

 

RE: Heath Robinson perhaps??

That was my first thought but I could only find the person that Spartacus has posted a link to.

It could be Barry Bucknall but the name doesn't sound familiar although the scenario does.

Maybe all the alcohol over the years has started to take effect & my brain is entering early senile dementia.
