Heather Couper RIP

When I was a kid, Patrick Moore was Mr Astronomy, but mostly for adults. When it came to kids TV and making the universe interesting for us, it was Heather Couper whose face was ubiquitous.

This is one of those news items that just stop you in tracks and get you thinking....

Her big break came when she was asked to appear as a guest on Sir Patrick Moore's The Sky At Night.

Sir Patrick later recalled: "Of course, she wrote to me when she was a little girl and said, 'Is there any future for me in astronomy?' And I said, 'Of course there is.' And I tried to give her a hand."

Nice to see...

Wow, I didn't know the name, but then I clicked the link and yes, she was another big part of my childhood.

Gone to find her place amongst the stars.

RIP Heather.

Smart and lovely with it.
Drove the lady once or twice back in the eighties and she was as nice in real life.
My first reaction was Seventy!
I thought she was younger than me.
