Chris Evans on Radio 2 dedicated his show to Tony, so does this mean definitely Mr Hart has sadly passed away? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Dalavich ( talk • contribs) 20:19, 30 January 2007 (UTC).
I noticed and was concerned by Chris Evan's comments today as well. He has not died, but remains rather unwell, hence Chris dedication. Tom 22:40, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
I hope he is okay; So who keeps altering the page then? Dalavich 06:23, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
I was in touch with his office in 2004, and had heard he had suffered a stroke, but I have no reliable or verifiable source for this.
He was still alive at the time this question and response were posted: he has since died Dom Kaos ( talk) 13:54, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
The page says that his poor state of health was disclosed in december 2008 but was elaborated upon in a 30th September report.....slight tear in the space time continuum here.... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.209.112.19 ( talk) 13:05, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
I've added a citation needed tag to Hart's date of birth, quoted as 15th October 1925. There are plenty of sources for his having been born in 1925 but this BBC News article dated 30th September 2008 says that he's eighty-three. This is consistent with 1925 but not with any date in October. Of course, it could be that the BBC just subtracted 1925 from 2008 without looking at the day.

We need to find a good free photo. Anyone? -- Charlie Huang 【遯卋山人】 12:46, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
The BBC News has just said: "Tony Hart, whose death was announced today". Which suggests he might have not passed away on Sunday 18 January 2008. If he had "died today" would have been used as it's specific to a given time. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.174.136.181 ( talk) 17:56, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
I reverted this edit due to formatting issues. If other editors can verify some of this material, please do assist. -- The Parting Glass ( talk) 19:33, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
Shouldn't he be classed as a Blue Peter presenter too? He was used as a storyteller in it's early days before the programme had arrived at a regular format. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Piaecantiones ( talk • contribs) 20:53, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
I am surprised to see there is no mention of his well-known relationship with Andi Peters on here? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.189.148.70 ( talk) 10:03, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
I'm not sure idle speculation on a few discussion boards constitutes a citable source Dom Kaos ( talk) 11:36, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

"The outbreak of the Korean War saw him being re-commissioned in the Territorial Army, attached to the Royal Artillery, from 23 November 1948 to 1 July 1950"
These dates conflict with actual start and end dates of the Korean War: start 25 June 1950, end 27 July 1953.
Maybe someone can clarify this bit of confusion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.150.233.34 ( talk) 17:06, 20 December 2013 (UTC)
The name in the second source does not appear to be Tony Hart. Also different recruit numbers Neiliosaurus ( talk) 17:28, 4 October 2021 (UTC)
Which was Hart's Gurkha regiment? Was it not the 1st Gurkha Rifles? The current TLS source fails verification. Thanks. Martinevans123 ( talk) 13:00, 16 October 2021 (UTC)
