The Four Horsemen

Sale of the Century was Nicholas Parsons - the undisputed God of the terrible gameshow. Keith Chegwin was Cheggers Plays Pop and latterly seen starkers in Naked Jungle. Sale of the Century was made by Anglia in the 70's I think, not sure how long it ran before someone took it outside and shot it. Anglia also nurtured such talents as Fred Dineage and kept me entertained during the school holidays with their silver knight on horseback pirouetting to the Water Music.....happy days........

That would be a triumph - getting John Cleese to post in the forum with a French accent!

The only thing I remember from a documentary on Rasputin was he was very well endowed (and I'm not talking about an inheritance!) - mind you, the programme was on Channel 5 so I should have expected it really.......

I wonder if they'll bring out a commemorative teatowel when he dies........?

Mind you, it would explain Stephen Hawking (see conversations passim)......

Probably famous and arrested........

It's uncanny how an Israeli missile can seriously affect your health......

I can think of many people and programmes best watched with the TV off. Des O'Connor, the only man sponsored by Ronseal......(apart from David Dickinson, of course)

Erm, Ombudsman and Smorgasbord are the only Swedish words I know, apart from Volvo and the lyrics to ABBA songs.......... Is the Swedish influence really so great that it is the most widespread language in the World - I must have been off sick when we did Swedish lessons at school.....

Presumably a wheelchaa is a device to assist old and disabled people in Latin American and Ballroom dancing...........

Princess Alice is a gangsta (sic)? Whoever would have thought? Maybe she's had to turn to crime to fund her out-of-control Steradent and Sanatogen habit......

Anyone care to venture some other well known LSDs apart from the drug? Long Stocking Drawer or Lumpy Semolina Drain possibly?

His full name was Cicerosson, apparently.......

Not the easiest game to play using a wireless mouse with a failing battery......

Shame it wasn't Columbia really, that'd be another success on the DL stats (see Escobar after World Cup 1998). Can someone enlighten me as to the point of Ian Wright as a pundit?

I'm surprised that nobody's list has included a certain prospective meteorologist yet............

I believe he always had trouble with the old "arse - elbow" conundrum.......

My favourite ex-manager is Tommy Docherty for the sole reason that he managed Man Utd when they were relegated in the 70's..........

And the House of Lords Judges........

How about a slightly blocked ear or a minor thigh strain? Of course, some of us have to also watch out for hoof rot or equine colic.........

Thanks for the RK - some of those films are appalling, so looks like he's died several times already!

Well you say he'll be 93, but I think you'll find that after seasonal adjustment the figures actually make him 37.......

Who?

Living in a mud hut devising ways to reduce swellings in the scrotum? That man had balls.......

Les Dennis Jim Davidson Bernard Manning (see threads passim) The Kids from Fame The Shadow Cabinet Manchester Utd Arsenal The list goes on, I could be here a while.......
