Neil Buchanan was one of the pillars of my childhood. I wish him nothing but good things.
Wow, a blast from the past!
Funny you post this after I just watched an art attack video yesterday.
is it still going with Bec Hill?
Neil knew ASMR before it was a thing when cutting cardboard with scissors
Never heard of it. When/where is it from?
1990s, UK
It also aired in Canada when I was growing up!
I remember the 90s but I’m not British, so that explains things.
Thanks for the reply.
This is an Art Attack,
I always wanted to follow along, but I could never master the trick where I could reach over and get a half-done one out of nowhere to keep working on.
Lmao, the old Blue Peter “here’s one I made earlier”
Oh my god, just after posting it has now hit me that the name is a pun on “heart attack”. What a life.
Before Art Attack and on the rival channel was Tony Hart and Heartbeat. Possibly a bit of an in-joke too. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hartbeat
I can hear the theme song already: doodoo doo doo-doo, doodoo doo doo-doo
Always preferred Hartbeat to Art Attack. Buchanan was just a bit creepy. Plus, no Morph.
Also, was there not a story that those jumpers NB wore cost about £300 or something?
Absolutely loved this show, I watched it religiously in the morning before going to school as a kid. So yeah, I would say pretty formative!
I still use the way he draws fish
As soon as I saw the logo the theme song played in my head.
I never saw Art Attack, but this just reminded me of Mark Kistler’s Imagination Station. I forgot that show existed; thanks for the nostalgia!
That brings back lots of memories!
Heavily!
