This is what has happened to my grandmother, except it's not her hands but her eyes. It makes me quite sad when I hear of somebody whose favourite beautiful thing to do is exactly the thing that time took.

Oh that breaks my heart! It was Hartbeat and all that that got me into art in the first place... I love Tony Hart!

I knew someone would say it, but...

Not actually the case. Morph was (and is) an Aardman Animations creation - I think he's still appearing in children's TV today.

There's a Guardian piece from Tony Hart about his origins here, if you're interested in such things.
