A fantastic neighbour in Elwood, Victoria. I was sad when they moved to Sydney. My condolences to Lisa and their children.
R.I.P i remember the good old round the twist days
60! That is far too young. RIP Mr. Snapper.
Might pull out the Round the Twist complete collection that I never watched
I was watching Round The Twist this morning and have been all week (I just bought all 4 seasons on DVD) and the episode I watched today featured Mr. Snapper quite a bit. To come on and read about this only hours rather today is quite ironic. RIP.
Very sad news indeed, he was fantastic in Round the Twist.
RIP Esben
Esben, how dare you leave unannounced, so much to say, too little time. Love you always.
Was great on Round the Twist!
Crash Zone was about a group of teenagers working for a company testing video games. It was better than it sounds. Was on 7 like in early 2000s i think, saturday mornings after Saturday Disney I think….
Unfortunelty Esben Storm was the last of the reall creatives especially in childrens Tv. Round the Twist was awesome still love watching the reruns on ABC 3. I have never heard of Crash Zone can anyone fill me in what it was about.
That’s sad he was a prolific player in the 70’s and 80’s and was a multi faceted figure in the creative realm.
Really sad. Round the Twist is a childrens masterpiece!
Mr. Snapper! 60, that’s horrible.
