Martin Woodhouse, R. I. P.

The Guardian: "Martin Woodhouse, who has died aged 78, had what he called 'a grasshopper mind' which led him to leap from one interest to another. Trained as a doctor, he qualified but was not registered and never practised; instead, he began exploring the concept of artificial intelligence and created a logic machine at Cambridge. Another change in direction followed his service with the RAF, when he became a television screenwriter, penning episodes of the puppet show Supercar and The Avengers, among others."

I missed this earlier. I remember Tree Frog fondly.
