I have to say,Really saddened to hear this:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/7346909.stm

The guy clearly didn't feel he could go on and if he felt this was his only way out that is just dreadful.Whatever happened in his flat that night between him and his fiancee was their own private business in my opinion.That said,that was certainly an incident people should take serious warning from.My daughter grew up watching him and over the past few years I have watched her clearly fully enjoying his madcap style of presenting.I often thought,Who is that fool ?.Only now,upon reflection do I realise how good he was at his job.I hope in time he is at least remembered for that.RIP.

Yeah, heard about that the other night. Kinda gave a nasty tang on the tip of my tongue when I heard about it though. Feels as though a part of my childhood has gone :(

Brings back a lot of memories. Especially the celebrity edition of Get Your Own Back he appeared on, and I think he was on the really early, fantastically daft SMTV as well?

Shame that he went that way, really... but it was in a rarely-used part of the station (Offices of some sort that are hired out?), well away from anyone, so at least large numbers of people didn't have to see this rather nasty end to a life.

He was on the roof. Quite how he got on the roof is another matter.

R.I.P Mark.

He used to be such a nice man as well. He was the best drawer out of the smART team.

Yes, he had that strange partially plastic looking wig and chin like they have in Lazytown.

He was very good on Smart and the younger version as well, a born entertainer. It seems so often that these children's entertainers and comedy people have tragic lives.
