themaninblack 2,112 Posted April 13, 2009 Richard O'Callaghan had a bit part in the recent Red Dwarf revival. Hard to tell how he was looking as he was wearing hugh sunglasses. Just seeing him now! I wondered what happened to him... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Garn2 34 Posted April 15, 2009 Because of the somewhat ill-advised revivals of the recent past there are LOADS of them left, just not many from the golden era. Whether our successors on here will bemoan the passing of Julian Clary and his generation in any significant way......is debatable There aren't many of the main original Carry On stars left though...Jim Dale, Babs, Lord Leslie Phillips and St Windsor of Davies (plus Angela Douglas and Jacki Piper on the post-Babs totty side...). And June Whitfield. Oh yes, Bernard Cribbins. Kenneth Cope. Julian Holloway. Well, maybe there are a few after all..... Not to mention the man behind it all.. Peter Rogers who turns 95 today The man, the legend. Mr Rogers, we salute you. According to this he's dead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vinegar Tits 606 Posted April 15, 2009 The person who runs Carry On Line is a friend of mine and he's confirmed it. Very sad news. RIP Peter, and thanks for all the laughs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
themaninblack 2,112 Posted April 15, 2009 Funnily enough, when this thread was flagged up to mention Richard O'Callaghan's appearance in Red Dwarf, I thought it would be news about Peter Rogers... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
themaninblack 2,112 Posted May 1, 2009 Related to the Carry Ons (well, sort of) were the 'Confessions of' series, starring Robin Askwith. The producer of those films, Greg Smith, has died aged 69... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

harrymcnallysblueandwhitearmy 1,688 Posted July 6, 2009 Some Carry On carrying on in my hood this weekend. Hmmm, £30 to meet Fenella, Anita Harris and Laraine Humphrys (who?) - I could just turn up at the pub for free, unless they've got Bernie Bresslaw on the door or something. Reminds me of the £50 I didn't pay to not go to the Fluff Memorial Plaque Unveiling at Brinsworth a couple of years back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The only way that would happen is if they'd got him stuffed and mounted. Ooh..that sounded like something Talbot Rothwell would have written... Better give Anita a few pennies while you're there - sounds like she could do with them... http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/music/m...5000-debts.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tiger 2000 2 Posted September 5, 2009 Patrick Durkin Appeared in quite a few Carry On films in minor roles, as well as "Raiders of the Lost Ark". If I remember correctly, he is the Mongolian Guy in the Drinking Competition with Marion in Raiders. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

themaninblack 2,112 Posted December 22, 2009 And Another... "You know what a diddler is don't yer?" Jack Douglas died on December 18th 2008 and now Marianne Stone on December 21st 2009. Will Carry On deaths become the new Christmas tradition? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vinegar Tits 606 Posted December 22, 2009 Arse. Marianne Stone was going to be on my 2010 list. But, seriously, sad news. She was probably in more films than any other British actress of her generation, albeit in small roles, but it was always a pleasure to spot her. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Weekend Murders, if you can find it, is much recommended. Italian Agatha Christie spoof in the vein of an Argento horror. Percival is the detective in it.
