RIP Simon Townsend.

Simon Townsend is the third (to my knowledge) presenter from the original Wonder World to die, following the deaths of Edith Bliss at age 52 in 2012, and Jonathan Coleman at age 65 in 2021, although some might say Coleman (DOB 29-Feb-1956) was only 16 when he died.

Add Simon to the I thought they died years ago list.

Funny the things you remember, he played the Stones' Waiting on a Friend on Wonderworld one day in which Keith Richards chain smokes his way through the video and afterwards he did the standard early 80s wishy washy don't smoke kiddos warning.

 

[Plugger35]

I liked Simon Townsend's Wonder World as a kid but I liked Paul Hogan's parody of it even more.

Is catriona Rowntree next?

For all we know it might already be Catriona's fellow Wonder World presenter Pascall Fox from the resurrected show in 1993-1994.

So completely has Pascall Fox vanished into obscurity since a couple of roles on Channel 7 lifestyle/renovation shows in the mid 2000s that we have no idea if she is alive, deceased or in an alternate dimension where the Earth spins West to East and Antarctica is at the North Pole; the Arctic at the South Pole.

It is slightly amusing that the author of her obituary in the UK Guardian died 6 years ago.
