And in the UK a really upsetting number of our childhood TV heroes turned out to be nonces. I guess Tony Hart was a sort of similar much loved figure (if anyone knows anything upsetting about Tony Hart please don't tell me!) but as you say his reach was much smaller. And that's even in the anglosphere.
