    He was always on tele in the late 70s and 80s and used to pop up on Tiswas when Lenny Henry was doing his impression including 'Grapple me grape-nuts'

    RIP David

    Oh no! Im genuinely very upset.
    He was so enthusiastic and taught me so much when l was young... so compelling to watch.
    And Tiswas did a great send up of him... "Gwapple me gwapenuts!".
    Mr Bellamy. Total legend. R.I.P.

    RIP David Bellamy,
    Your enthusiasm for the natural world got me rummaging in the fields, woods, streams and along the sea shores.

    What a guy, brilliant communicator and a great knowledgeable presenter - loved his nature shows in the 70s/80s..

    RIP David Bellamy

    I was really into the natural world when I was kid in the 80’s and still love it now, a lot of that was down to David Bellamy, I’m sure I met him when in primary school along with Terry Nutkins..

    Very sad another British personality is gone.

    RIP

    I worked with him a couple of times on adverts and he was charming: just had to remember not to mention Lenny Henry....

    Another childhood hero gone too soon...

    Apparently he was hastily ditched by the TV and media
    in the early 90’s for poo-pooing the “new” global warming debate.

    Rest in peace
