Paul Bearer 6,102 Posted February 4 Paul Nicholas was born on December 3, 1944 in Peterborough, Cambridgeshire, England, UK. He is an actor, known for Lisztomania (1975), Just Good Friends (1983) and Tommy (1975). Also played Jesus in Jesus Christ superstar. Only starting this thread as he’ll be 80 this year and I’m watching 1972 most shocking moments. He’s certainly aged. Thoughts? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I kinda always got him and sometime lead singer of Manfred Mann John Paul Jones mixed up in my head. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

harrymcnallysblueandwhitearmy 1,689 Posted February 4 The sort of thread PB himself would close in a heartbeat, but he’s invoked Admin’s Third Law, clearly visible in the Unwritten Rules. I expect a certain Anglophobic American to have a whinge. Anyway, he’s more significant (to me) for 70s guilty pleasures Dancing with the Captain (jigging in the rigging!?) and Grandma’s Party, and popular but shit sitcom Just Good Friends at the peak of his early 80s fame. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ha! Internet tomorrow they promised where I can sort out who I’m thinking of and other stuff delivered later in the week. By far the worst house move I have made.

Deathrace 1,171 Posted February 4 Paul Nicholas at his sadistic best in Tommy. Quite a journey from this role to the Major in Fawlty Towers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bibliogryphon 9,586 Posted February 4 I recently saw a bit of Just Good Friends and it made me realise how much of that programme relied on Paul Nicholas's charisma. Vincent is actually a really shitty person (Penny is not much better). Rewatching it now my sympathy is entirely with Penny's parents Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
