Derek Griffiths

Who & Why?

Derek Griffiths is the bendy, rubber-limbed man who wore brightly coloured tank tops and presented the children's TV show Play School. He sang, he danced, he got to dress up and he played the fool, he was our idol. Derek has more recently been playing the part of Lumiere in the stage show version of Beauty and the Beast. Here's hoping the next generation get to know and love Derek in the way our generation did.
