English actor and musician Freddy Marks has left us at the age of 71, on May 27th.
He was best known for being part of the musical trio Rod, Jane and Freddy which appeared in children's programming in the 1970's, 1980's and early 1990's.
In 1980, he was hired to join the cast of Rainbow after Roger Walker left the show. He joined the two existing musicians, Rod Burton and Jane Tucker, to form Rod, Jane and Freddy.
Towards the end of 1980, Rod, Jane and Freddy were approached by ITV to do their own show. The Rod, Jane and Freddy Show aired its first episode in January 1981, and in total seven series were broadcast. The trio continued to appear in Rainbow (over 400 episodes) until 1989, and the following year Thames TV lost the ITV franchise. The Rod, Jane and Freddy Show finished the following year.
