Tony uses a compass, protractor and set square to make a circular pattern of fleurs-de-lis. He then transfers the design onto a paper plate using a permanent marker pen.

Margot makes a model of a pink Cadillac car, using pink, black, cream and mirrored card, and clear plastic.

Joanna visits Bristol's Industrial Museum with some kids. Together, they decorate cardboard boxes and tubes, which they then use to build a rocket.

Finally, Tony experiments with chequered and tessellated patterns, including a bird pecking at a seed.

First broadcast in 1988.

This is the only episode I've ever seen of Hart Beat. We had loads of Take Hart on tape, but only this solitary Hart Beat from '88, recorded back when I was 3 and living in England.

What a legend he truly was.

I can't believe this is now finally on the internet - many thanks to TonyHartRemembered!

@atheosmachina Thanks so much for commenting! It's always so great to hear from fellow Hartbeat fans!

I loved HartBeat! It was the highlight of my childhood T.V. Unpatronising, intelligent and warm, shame there aren't programmes like this today!

when Tony Hasrt said 'that's better' after drinking his tea he sounded a bit like Richard Briers.
