I have to agree with the final comment made on the article and think it applies to the vast majority of famous charlatans.

that's bollox, his artwork and presenting are far better than 95% of what's out there, he was the banksy of his day..I prefer looking at Harris's artwork over banksy in any case..
Yes, he's been convicted, does that demean his talent..that's an opinion, not everyone's opinions are right..

As I mentioned a few pages back he IS a fine artist and far more of an artist than just Banksy style graffiti, and the hysterical fools who are rushing to galleries or eBay to sell his original works claiming that their minds are now completely messed with and all trust betrayed are just that - hysterical fools.

Here's my offer, if you have any original Rolf Harris painted artwork (not his doodles or cartoons) then I will happily collect them from you for the stipend of £50 per canvas and thus relieve you of the burden of guilt you are now carrying with you inside your foolish head.

And as we're on a historical witch hunt I also make the same offer for any original Picasso (dirty old man) or Gauguin (nudey native girl painter in his dotage), or indeed any famous artist who you want to have your suspicions about.

Ok, the comment was maybe a bit harsh on his artwork but I found his presenting a bit creepy when I was a kid. Very similar to that of Bob Ross of 'The Joy of Painting' fame. All those 'happy little trees' had you captivated but you couldn't help but think he was a perv, my Mum and I couldn't anyway!

In a similar vein, Caravaggio murdered someone and Michelangelo had a touch of the Burke and Hare's about him, I'll gladly take any of those.

Healthy relationship you and your mum had when you were growing up. Spot the nonce on TV, the ideal way to bring up kids.
