Stanley Baxter for me. The guy has slipped off the radar for many a year

Sounds like this country following the Conservative/Liberal government taking power for the past four years.....Still only got to wait until Spring and we can awake from our self induced slumber

Well as it is near the Chrimbo drinking season, I think I will make mine a double....by that another former President, Mr Peanut Jimmy Carter.

A sad passing, one of the true legends of variety entertainment, and still entertaining audiences right up until his death. Like Bruce Forsyth, Dodd was unique in his clean attitude to comedy, and could capture the imagination of young and old with his range of ability.

Mmmmm......Did'nt Fred West say something like that Q-Tips?.....By the way you are supposed to bury the body bag, not hide it behind the flower pots

An elderly cast, woman talking about their husbands round tea, old men trying to relive their youth, and a battle axe of a woman now dominating an old man into submission. Same story lines from Summer Wine, re-written into the current series of Still Open All Hours, which is scribed by writer Roy Clarke, the writer of Summer Wine. Need I say more?......Healy's Character, Gastric, could be played by Bill Owen aka Compo and you would not know the difference.

Probably because playing Gastric in the remake of Last of the Summer Wine, now called Still Open all hours, has enhanced the aging process. Trouble is, in this series the acting is as wooden as a coffin, and about a funny as a funeral. Perhaps he will finally exit stage right

Mr peanut for me, Jimmy Carter

Billy Graham this time. It's been all too quiet from the Graham camp for a while.

Well just for once I will let my last pick stand. As the director said..."Take two....action". Hopefully Kirk Douglas can pick up his cue this time and exit stage left.

Ironically Barraclough passed away at Willow Wood Hospice, Ashton-under-Lyne, the same hospice where his good friend Corrie and Last of the Summer Wine actress Kathy Staff died. Staff, who played Vera Hopkins in the Manchester soap during the mid-seventies, also played Barraclough's on screen wife, Lorna Everitt in Castle Haven a short lived soap opera broadcast by Yorkshire Television from 1969.

A chap phones the emergency services........"My three year old son has just swallowed a condom" Five minutes later he call them again............"It's alright, I've found another one"

I have given up waiting for God to take Billy Graham. so this time I have gone for old dimple chin Kirk Douglas to act out one last death scene.

Sad to record his passing. He was a hero of mine when watching Blue Peter. A guy whose humour transposed onto the screen. A guy who broke the mould of BBC "stiff upper lipped" presenters.

It's about time Billy Graham met his maker.....Being the company rep, he must be due to be called to the committee room and offered a place on the board.

Denis Norden this time......time for an out take

Tommy Cooper certainly did

Loved Dalyell's no mucking about opinions. A spade was a spade in his eye and he was not afraid to rock the establishment if he wanted to speak his mind. On the flip side, I had him down on MPFC Deadpool last year and Tam went on for another twelve months. This year my list drew bugger all as they are all still living. Mental note to self.....Use the Dalyell theory for 2018 and name the same 2017 list coming up to Christmas

Well I got one right....so long ago now....so out to double my score by suggesting Billy Graham will finally get to meet his maker

Put me down for Thelma Barlow [Mavis Riley] in Corrie

Aye, sorted - just pm'd you back and saluted the skilful selection process Bugger!.....can you believe it....sent MPFC my selection just after midnight, and my s"kill"ful selection falls apart with Debbie Reynolds anticipating the "clapperboard" and mistimes her departure. Ah well "Take two" and my sub will have to step in. The way 2016 is closing I had better put another sub on stand by.....

Sent a PM to you MPFC with my line up...Good luck to all

Yes sad to say......Another Christmas special where Nana Royal bid farewell.
