rockhopper penguin 2,265 Posted January 9, 2015 More Up TW3 and Up Pompeii than Carry On I would conjecture. You could also have had more fun with the Paul McCartney link.. loses his voice forever for example. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bibliogryphon 9,588 Posted January 12, 2015 More Up TW3 and Up Pompeii than Carry On I would conjecture. You could also have had more fun with the Paul McCartney link.. loses his voice forever for example. I went home and told my daughter that both Paul and Ringo had died.

Barbara Windsor's boobs were not really up to their reputation, were they. Elsewhere, Fenella Fielding looks terrifying, and doesn't Gaby Roslin look old. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Handrejka 1,904 Posted May 31, 2015 Agreed on all points, Toast. What was that thing on Miss Fielding's head? In a weird coincidence as I reading the article, someone drove past my window with "Georgy Girl" blaring out of their car which was co-written by Jim Dale.
