The man inside the suit of Darth Vadar has passed away at the age of 85. In the UK when I was a child he was also known for being the Green Cross Code man in a series of road safety adverts (and this was the role he was most proud of).

RIP

also known for being the Green Cross Code man in a series of road safety adverts (and this was the role he was most proud of).

he was a westcountry guy, I went to primary school in plymouth and remember him coming to do a couple of 'road safety' assemblies dressed as The Green Cross Code Man when I was about 5 or 6... in fact it wasn't until I was at uni that I found out he was also Darth Vader!

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
    • Osmosis: os·mo·sis (oz-mo'sis, os-) n., 1. When a bird eats something.
