Octopus of Odstock 2,200 Posted March 13, 2007 Ahem... getting back on topic, George Cole will be on our TV screens again next week in a TV programme called (I think) "A Class Apart", starring the godawful Jessie Wallace. Ol' George looks okay, a bit wider at the waist, but if anything looks a little less frail than before. Bit of blurb, best photo I could find for now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TAFKAG 70 Posted September 13, 2013 Sawmill shenanigans cause Cole's 'health to deteriorate'. George has fallen and knocked himself and he is on hefty medication for other health problems Please, committee members, 25 years after his previous appearance, give old George a place on the 2014 list.

Guest Guest Posted November 19, 2013 He's on the One Show right now,looking pretty good ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dr. Zorders 1,271 Posted November 19, 2013 He's on the One Show right now,looking pretty good ! Yeah looks not too bad. But then, Orson Welles didn't look too bad in his last interview, either. And he was dead a few hours later. But he was a big fatty fat fat, so that's a bit different. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Predictor 1,018 Posted February 15, 2015 This is quite a comeback: 26 years after his first DL appearance! If he was in bad health back in 1989, then it's admirable that he's still alive today. I doubt the committee chose Mr. Cole on the basis of old age, since he was just 63 years old at the time. So what was the deal with Cole in 1989? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I suspect that the process has become more streamlined in recent years and there was no internet as such so research probably consisted of seeing who looked a bit rough last time they were on telly or who hadn't been around for a few years.

He looked great a little while back on The One Show. You wouldn't guess he was 90. As much as I'm reluctant to bash "the committee" (or anyone else) for not watching that....... this was probably a bad choice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paulh85 101 Posted July 6, 2015 anyone over the age of 90 who can still make TV appearances doesnt bode well for the list. However Death can get you rather quickly at that age i suppose Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RadGuy 1,614 Posted July 20, 2015 DEAD according to a dumb guest who posted in another thread, not knowing that he is on the list. Edit: Nevermind, it was George COE who died. Guest either typoed or wanted to mess with us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
