Bob Godfrey won an Oscar for his short film Great, a biography of the engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel, but remains best known for his TV work.

The British animator - whose career spanned 50 years - was also responsible for Noah and Nelly in... Skylark and the risque cartoon series Henry 9 to 5.

He was awarded three Baftas and received an MBE in June 1986.

How many of us watched his cartoons when we were younger? I will admit I did.

Jeez, it's been a really bad week for the people whose work I loved as a child popping their clogs.
