In 1968 he moved to Thames Television and began presenting Magpie, a new children's programme, with Susan Stranks and Pete Brady.[4] Magpie was effectively a "groovier" version of the BBC's Blue Peter.[1][4] In 1972, he became Magpies producer. During his career, Bastable produced and presented many one-off programmes, including historical documentaries and current affairs programmes, and presented and commentated on many outside and sporting events.[1] For nine years Bastable presented the consumer protection series Money-Go-Round, and also presented shows such as Drive-in, Mind Over Matter, a programme he devised with Kit Pedler that investigated the paranormal, and the computing series Database as well as 4 Computer Buffs.[1] In addition, he was a panellist on radio shows and he narrated the Channel 4 nature programme Profiles Of Nature. Later lifeBastable later moved into independent production, and he produced training and promotional films for companies such as the Ford Motor Company, the National Bus Company, the Royal Navy, the Department of Transport and the Institute of Advanced Motorists.[1] He also authored mini-history books for children on the 15th-16th Century nautical explorers John Cabot and Ferdinand Magellan.[1] DeathHe suffered from emphysema in his final years, and died at the age of sixty two from pneumonia at the East Surrey Hospital, Redhill, in the county of Surrey on 29 May 2007.[3] Personal lifeBastable was a qualified cricket umpire and founded the Institute of Cricket Umpires and Scorers.[1] In 1972 he founded The Magpies, a wandering cricket team taking its name from the TV programme.[4] He married three times. His first marriage was in 1969 to June Buchan, from whom he was divorced in 1971. In 1974, he married Jackie Colkett. They had a daughter, but divorced in 1992. He married for the third time, to Anita Westwood, in 2001.[1] Popular cultural referencesHalf Man Half Biscuit refer to Bastable in their song "I Love You Because (You Look Like Jim Reeves)", from the album Back in the DHSS.
