Cat O'Falk 3,290 Posted September 1, 2016 Till Death Us Do Part is on BBC4 tonight at 9-o'clock. It's not a new episode but a re-recording from an original script of a wiped episode from 1967. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Madeleymade 1 Posted September 1, 2016 Barraclough is looking frail. I have a feeling he might not make it to series, if this does make to series, that is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cat O'Falk 3,290 Posted September 8, 2016 There's a Porridge one as well. The only one I'm looking forward to is the Hancock's Half Hour one because I've heard the radio version with Kevin McNally and he's very good. Just watched it; brilliant! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tempus Fugit 214 Posted September 8, 2016 There's a Porridge one as well. The only one I'm looking forward to is the Hancock's Half Hour one because I've heard the radio version with Kevin McNally and he's very good. Just watched it; brilliant! I'm just amazed the BBC didn't attempt to shoehorn in an ethnic minority into the cast. Those multi-culturist pushing fucktard cuntgerbils usually try to stick them in everywhere.

JR976evil 905 Posted July 2, 2020 Just been watching it of late, does still amuse. I’m pleased the ‘woke’ army haven’t yet had it booted off the schedules, I can just picture them getting all indignant on Twitter 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He played Mr Spooner, who was basically an ersatz Mr Lucas if I recall. Then there are the 2 minor characters Mr. Grace's Nurse, played by Vivienne Johnson, who appeared in 22 episodes but only got the occasional bit of dialogue, usually when YMG was having palpitations. IMDB doesn't give a date of birth and suggests no one knows what became of the actress*; and former page 3 girl Penny Irving (b. 1955) who played secretary Miss Bakewell (no first name, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was Cherry). God, how I abhor that series now, but have to admit I did watch it at the time! * According to Wikipedia: "currently employed as a cover drama teacher in Essex schools, most recently Moulsham High School, in Chelmsford, Essex. She has married, and is known as Mrs. Vivienne Johnson is the widow of the late (and apparently formidable) barrister Brian Higgs QC (1930 - 2016), who's most notorious case was defending Robert Thompson, one of the two ten year olds found guilty of the James Bulger murder in 1993, at his appeal hearing in 2001. It looks like Johnson gave up acting not long after marrying him. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So looking at the IMDb cast list for AYBS, there appears to be only 7 names left who appeared in more than a single episode: Mike Berry (b. 1942) The only regular cast member remaining. Raymond Bowers (b. 1936) His last credit was in 2003. Living in 2013 according to 192.com, and can't find anything in the GRO up to 2019 so presumably living. Louise Burton (b. 1955) Keith Hodiak (b. 1950) Gave a video interview in 2017 about his dancing career in Guyana before emigrating to the UK. Penny Irving (b. 1942) Vivienne Johnson (b. 1946) Doremy Vernon (b. c. 1934) Sourced her estimated DOB from Ancestry (it says "born 1933–1935"). Older than I thought she was. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

She was the randy old goat’s nurse (he all done very well!) in several episodes, but had no lines afaik. She apparently got the boot because her performance in John Lindsay’s hardcore flick Boarding School came to light. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
