It wasn't helped by one of the cast being the son of a teacher I had at school, as I couldn't see his name without thinking what a twat his father was.

Cerberus 302 Posted September 14, 2023 Boht has sailed ... Thought she went a couple of years ago, for some reason. I wonder who I was thinking of? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

She'd go off and do the ironing when it was on. It was similar in my Merseyside household. My dad hated it, my nan loved it, my mum and I watched it because we fancied Peter Howitt and Victor Maguire respectively. We had the same wall paper in our bathroom that they had in their kitchen which amused me more than anything in the show. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MarkF 60 Posted September 17, 2023 Geoffrey Davies the Doctor In The House and all it's sequels has died. I think that leaves George Layton as the only surviving main cast member. Geoffrey Davies obituary (msn.com) 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YoungWillz 21,006 Posted December 1, 2023 Brigit Forsyth's turn as Thelma in Whatever Happened To The Likely Lads? is a tour de force of comedic acting, imo. Never played for laughs, and all the funnier for it. A welcome sight whenever I saw her on the tellybox. Can't say I saw her in Still Open All Hours, as I dislike the original intensely (worst thing after Clarence that Ronnie Barker ever did imo) so I never watched the update. She's a Doctor Who alumnus as well - all episodes of Evil of the Daleks. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Master Obit 828 Posted December 1, 2023 A sad loss. On Open All Hours - I absolutely loved the original, but the remake was a bit of a catastrophe with the way they drew it out. Still, she seemed like a very talented actress and an unfortunate add to the string of recent deaths. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
