These jokes are crap now

now?

It is sad - I used to watch SMart a lot as a kid and used to think he was great.

Still, it's a sign of the world today - and what a sad state it's in.

Must be devastating for his family

[Webbo]

I'd sometimes watch him with my kids. He always seemed such a good bloke. What a shocking waste.

[Tomassi]

Poor bloke

for all you jokers out there shame on u

[Matt]

RIP.

Always used to like Smart, He was abit weird and annoying sometimes but must have gone through some hard times in the last few months. RIP.

[Micky Ruddle]

Very sad to hear. I actually enjoyed watching SMart, and thought he was a good television presenter.

I bet Speight's family and Natasha Collins's family are going through hell at the moment.

[The Stig]

I grew up watching Smart and mainly used to watch it for Mark, he was a great presenter and artist. A horrible end to a tragic story. RIP Mark.

I have absolutely no idea who this person is.

[Jack]

I have absolutely no idea who this person is.

Presented a kid's art show called SMart on Bbc, similar sort of show to Art Attack.

I have absolutely no idea who this person is.

Drugs are never a SMart choice.

And out of death comes beauty.

Rolf's still going isn't he! Didn't Neil Buchanan die recently too? That might have been a dream I had (an actual dream, not a secret desire)

That was a rumour, ITV issued a statement confirming he was still alive.

Neil Buchannan didn't die.

It was an entirely fabricated Facebook group and the rumour grew from there.

Was an April Fools joke on facebook which got like 20,000 members.

I heard this too, there was also a Facebook group "Neil Buchanan isn't dead" as well.

[Fez of Mahrez]

I saw it on Facebook actually and was confused as to why I hadn't known about it at the time.

I like the way the BBC have put the Mark Speight story under 'Entertainment'. Nice touch.

It shows how fragile the mind is!!

I know drugs are "BAD" as one popular figure once said.....

But the Mind is a dark and lonely place at times, once you get trapped, there seems no way out!!

R.I.P Mark Speight....

[Tommy G]

RIP the mans a Ledgend.

Shame coke started all this off. The drugs don't work kids!

[Thracian]

Such a sad episode all round.

The whole drugs scene is not something I understand or have been affected by but I do feel for those who are not so lucky - both victims and parents.

It's sometimes difficult for people to stand outside the crowd, particularly when "the crowd" wants to suck others in.

And it must be harder still in family situations with absent or uncaring parents.

[DB11]

BBC says he hanged himself

[Bellend Sebastian]

The whole things horrible, innit?

The world and his uncle knew the poor sod was in bits, but no-one could do a thing about it

[lildave3]

I've just realised who this is.

God bless SMart.

[DB11]

Is SMart still on or was it on ages ago and has since finished?

[Webbo]

He won't be filming anymore.

He won't be filming anymore.

They could always get a replacement in
