My Take
Keith Chegwin represents a vanishing breed of British entertainer, the warm-hearted presenter who built a career on making children smile. A Liverpudlian who dominated 1970s and 1980s kids television with Multi-Coloured Swap Shop and Cheggers Plays Pop, he also paid his dues in West End stage work. What I respect about Cheggers is how unglamorous yet genuinely valuable his craft was, bringing joy to ordinary households week after week. His death in 2017 closed a chapter of British broadcasting history. I think performers who devote themselves to gentle, family entertainment deserve far more credit than they usually get.
