Vision On
Vision On was a British
television programme, shown from
1964 to
1977, that presented
art for children. It was designed to appeal to
deaf as well as hearing viewers. The presenter was
Tony Hart, who was assisted at various times by Ben Benison, Pat Keysell,
Sylvester McCoy, Colin Bennett and Wilf Makepeace Lunn.
The animated modelling-clay character Morph was so successful that he gained his own TV series, and his creators went on to form the Aardman Animations company.
The title Vision On was a reference to the illuminated sign above the recording studio at the BBC, which showed when the cameras were rolling.
