This is the thread to discuss fabulous Frazer Hines.

Hi folks, I found this thread on a fansite for the wonderful On the Buses (hic): Its a fascinating discussion about the final resting places of cast members and includes [photos and a video of Reg Varneys grave: http://www.onthebuses.net/forum/viewtopic....f=52&t=1581

Its always good to come here for some sanity in a world thats gone mad! Thanks guys!

Harrods???? Isn't that that expensive store over in Londonville? What type of idiot drunkard is he? A proper drunkard knows to buy his liver brine from the low cost bins (labels torn or missing) at the lower class liquor stores. Or don't they have liquor stores in England? I shall miss sauteed shallots with scallops and Gerry as welll. Hopefully they will find him soon-maybe playing music in the local underground stations. At any rate my M, my D, and some other keys are stickking since I spilled the syrup and my u and o are still popping off and after a browse around I will pop out of here again. BRUNO!! Tarry awhile and engage in banter, good to see you. Eugh!! Someone tell me where the blood came from please??

Well not very now, as he died a few weeks ago... Its new to me as a few weeks ago I would,nt have been interested. Frazier Hines seems in good nick to me, judging by his appearances on recent Doctor Who DVD docs... Havent you heard of sudden death?

Why? Is there something you're not telling us? eeerm ......He is playing Alderman Fitzwarren in Dick Whittington this year? Will that suffice? He is also getting on a tad Getting on a bit? He's only 63 I guess you must be around that age too then.

Im on a bit of a quest to track down ex Emmerdale Farm cast members this week. I recently saw an advert on tv starring Jean Rogers AKA Dolly Skillbeck racing around in a stannah stairlift and it got me to thinking... Did,nt Matt Skilbeck become a monk after he left the show? And now it seems Amos Brierley has died: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/6983016.stm

Why? Is there something you're not telling us? OK, how about *Frazer Hines (born 22 September 1944, Horsforth, Leeds, Yorkshire) is a British actor best known for his roles as Jamie McCrimmon in the BBC science fiction television series Doctor Who, and Joe Sugden in Emmerdale. At the age of eight, after studying acting at the Corona Stage Academy, he made his acting debut. He was thirteen when he appeared in Charlie Chaplin's A King in New York (1957) and by the age of fifteen, he had appeared in six films. In 1960 he appeared in the eight-part serial The Young Jacobites. His television roles included Jan in The Silver Sword (1957-8), Tim Birch in Emergency Ward 10 (1963-4), and Roger Wain in Coronation Street (1965). In Doctor Who he played the part of Jamie McCrimmon, a companion of the Second Doctor, from 1966 to 1969 as well as reappearing in The Five Doctors (1983) and The Two Doctors (1985). Though much of his work on Doctor Who has been lost, he appeared in more episodes than any other actor, save for those playing the first four Doctors. In terms of screen-time, he is easily the longest-serving co-star, although Nicholas Courtney appeared regularly over a greater number of years. This phenomenon is due to the fact that during the 1960s, the show had a much higher episode count than in the 1970s and 1980s. After his three-year stint as Jamie in Doctor Who he resumed the life of a jobbing actor until 1972, when he was cast in the soap opera Emmerdale Farm as Joe Sugden — a role he played until 1994. In between making episodes of Emmerdale, as it was renamed in the 1980's, he has continued a career in the theatre and made occasional appearances in other TV shows Nothing much else to discuss then * taken from wiki Thats the problem with Wiki, all those words when all it needed was four. He is a twat.

Just because Im too lazy to search this is the place to vote for your top five sickest or funniest threads

What about celebrity nervous breakdowns? Its tough enough when your just an average joe and you loose your marbles let alone when your a well-known celebrity.. I read here somewhere about Tony Blackburns famous public breakdown on radio. Did anyone hear the broadcast or know exactly what happened ? Was there a slow disintergration or a rapid explosion? What other celebrities have "lost it" either privatley or publically, that is indeed if they even had it in the first place and how have they actually done it?

Thanks for the link, Mary. I have,nt seen it before and would have surely remembered it if I had being so morbid as I am! I dont think its in bad taste at all. Why do so many people have the attitude that when someone dies everyone has to be apologetic ? Like it or not it happens to us all in the end and in this day and age where everything is exploited its not a big deal. If someone had used his image to advertise -say baked beans for example then it would have been insensitive but for something as serious as prostate cancer it hits home. Im sure his family are fully behind it otherwise it would,nt have been shown? Bob was a great entertainer and I was genuinely sad when he died but hes still around making us aware of a killer disease.

I miss Bob...Sob Sob Sob..... Which advert is this? I dont think Ive seen it yet or maybe I have but didnt notice.

Wow!!

Katie Price and Peter Andre(x) - gross, gross, GROSS!! Will they never end their quest to shove the viewing publics head into their family life, their sex life and up their assess. Their like sad old Barbie and Ken who noone gives a sh*t about any more... All non-entities like Pete Docherty, Paris Hilton and Victoria Beckham. They should be shot! Grrrrrrr!!!!

My choice are all dead not suprisingly: Keith Moon Peter Cook Pat Phoenix Liberace Noel Gordon Rod Hull and Emu And I would insist that they all wore fur coats (fake of course)

C,mon Himler, you must have s@@t in your eyes! Dont be fooled into thinking that every female back in the seventies in the UK was,nt dying for the chance to jump on Jack and Stan and shag their brains out then take turns doing their washing, ironing and cooking and sit adoringly at their feet whilst they call us silly moos. With the current re-runs being shown on TV I am sure a whole new generation of women are ditching girl power and having the urge to lie down and become doormats to bus drivers! Get your leg over, lads!

Perhaps he got the idea for Mr and MRS as a chance to get in on as many threesomes as possible! And remember his "hostess" Susan Cuff/Cup/Clough?? whose very important job it was to shuffle contestants from one side of the stage to the other and look brain dead? I think I need to watch some old repeats of this show to remind me of the naffness of it all!! Derek is actually "up for rent": http://www.mr-and-mrs.tv/derek-batey.htm Im sooooo tempted!!!

Derek Batey is/ was a naus... Any one agree? I think he,s still alive and well but he can,t have much longer to go, can he? Maybe hes another resident of that retirement home that Richard O sullivan lives in? When watching him on Mr and Mrs I could never decided if he was a true scot or just putting on the accent when he felt like it as it seemed to change depending on the couple he was playing with!

Hull on the Pyre - Old bloke falling off of the roof A desire- to watch Man United Oh, Hull on the Pyre! Long have I counted the acts I have seen Corny pink windmills and witches all green A bundle of rags held together with wire They all belonged to Hull on the Pyre! Back in the Eighties we all were impressed By Rod Hull and Emu- a hand up a dress Why did we watch this tv so dire? Time to say bye to Hull on the Pyre! Now theres a puppet whose left on the shelf Nobody wants him he plays with himself Remembering the day he climbed up on the spire and kicked the ass of Hull to the Pyre! Hull on the Pyre - Old bloke falling off of the roof A desire- to watch Man United Oh, Hull on the Pyre!

Not sure if this counts as an actual ghost but someone is going around the internet saying that Rod Hull is their spirit guide: http://endlessagony.com/Problem_detail.asp...problem_id=4965 Perhaps this person can find out what made him do a dumbass thing like climbing on his roof at 63 years old!

I heard that Emu is about sixty years old or more but he says he won,t be bothering to take SPAM as his Rod is permanently stiff !!

Sounds like a great guy! (not) I actually did see Rod and Emu some time back in the early eighties when he opened a local branch DIY store in my area. All I can remember was that he arrived in a yellow Rolls Royce and me and my mates stood well back as to avoid getting molested by them. I also have vivid awful memories of the pile of s**** TV programme called "Emu,s World" that involved a pink windmill (a phallic symbol, maybe?) an irritating green witch with her effeminate robot sidekick and hordes of cringey kids who were far too goody-goody to be real. What went on when someone was at the door? All that dancing around was enough to make me want to take a jump off my own roof!
