Lady Die 63 Posted September 16, 2006 Roy Hudd (aged 70) has been taken ill whilst filming Fred's funeral scenes in Corrie. Link Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VSBfromH 74 Posted September 17, 2006 "John Savident rose from the coffin to help him as they waited for an ambulance" I do sincerely hope they captured that moment on film!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 9,987 Posted September 17, 2006 It's absolutely certain they did, can't find it on t'net as of this morning mind. The crew on corrie are amongst the best paid of their kind in the UK, so like the demise of Tommy Cooper it's a moment that might never be leaked. Shame, Savident's intervention would be summat to see. 'He's had a coronary, I say.....' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Paul Bearer 5,616 Posted July 21, 2019 BUMP.... Was on the celebrity chase tonight. Lost lots and lots of weight. Apparently had a gastric band fitted. Now at 83, might be a possibility for next year? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That was a repeat having been first broadcast in August 2017 and most probably recorded in early 2017. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lord Fellatio Nelson 6,132 Posted July 22, 2019 He was recently interviewed and asked about his weight loss. He said something like 'i'm not ready to cark it yet' or something along those lines. He is a deffo legend, an unsung one in the way that Barry Cryer ( who does seem to be a bit iffy at the mo ) is. Will be a sad day when they both go. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hmm So, I got a freebie to an evening with Hudd by way of earning a few quid - can't say I was beside myself with excitement for that gig but... Basically, the man's a walking authority on the music hall and similar working class entertainments of the past and much of that archive is stuff he gathered to save it from the rubbish bin. All of which means it's a treasure trove of information on the most bizarre novelty acts, the history of regional theatres and the like. So, it may well have research uses and be a good addition to a university. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YoungWillz 18,948 Posted March 15, 2020 This guy seems to have updated Roy's Wiki page to say he's died: Now I'd normally write it off as vandalism, but the "ukulele player" in his bio should give us all pause. So, is he dead? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
