Guest morbido Posted October 11, 2005 Sadly, Joanne Campbell, who was also in "Me and My Girl" died of deep veined thrombosis in 2002 at the age of 38. She played the receptionist and was a groundbreaker for being a black actress in a recurring role whose role had nothing to do with her being black. A real pity.

Prince Vulpine 0 Posted October 11, 2005 That series hasn't been too kind to its stars, has it? Its lead character is prematurely in a nursing home, and we've annoyed his relative Juice O'Sullivan. The receptionist has passed, Joanne Ridley's vanished from the map despite - or maybe because of - her sister's high-profile topless prancing about in the 80's. I seem to recall they had an ambitious mother who wanted her daughters to gain a lot of publicity to further their careers. Nice one Mum. Any idea what that bloke from The Goodies is up to now?

Prince Vulpine 0 Posted October 11, 2005 The one who was in Me And My Girl. Tim Brooke Taylor Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cerberus 273 Posted October 12, 2005 I believe Tim Brooke-Taylor is a regular on the Radio 4 panel game "I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue" (hosted by DL mentionee Humphrey Lyttleton) but I can't imagine that supplies him with a living wage. As for what else he does, after-dinner speaking would be my guess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gunjaman5000 30 Posted October 13, 2005 (edited) 'Me and my girl' was repeated here recently, fatuously labeled an "encore screening" instead of the less marketable 'repeat' or 'rerun' and I found the lovely (as I remembered her from years ago) Ms Whalley is now coaching actors. In what I couldn't say, but coaching nonetheless. On the subject of Tim Brooke-Taylor, quite some time ago we had a major anti drink driving campaign snappily titled "Anyone, Anywhere, Anytime." Why they didn't go the whole hog and have "Goody goody yum yum" at the end I'll never know. Good to see they're all in fine fettle. The Goodies that is, not the coppers.

Guest Harry Posted October 19, 2005 I didn't even know Richard O'Sullivan was ill! WHAT A WAY TO FIND OUT!!!! You're a first class twat! (get well soon.....?...maybe not in your case...) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,017 Posted October 19, 2005 Wikipedia Is handy on the career of Tim Brooke Taylor. He keeps busier than after dinner speaking and given his background I'd venture he's invested well and doesn't need to work that hard these days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Boris Posted October 25, 2005 I doubt Tony Blakburn still cares about what happend all those years ago. He has moved on, remarried, had children and is still working. Joanne Ridley (Who played Sullivans daughter) did one more TV show after "Me and My Girl", but i believe it was all downhill from then on. Say what you like about O Sullivan, but his sitcoms were classics! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,017 Posted October 25, 2005 Say what you like about O Sullivan, but his sitcoms were classics! The thing I would like to say about Richard O' Sullivan is that his sitcoms weren't classics. Doubt he'll get the kind of attention Ronnie Barker warranted when he finally goes.

Guest Guest Posted October 25, 2005 "The thing I would like to say about Richard O' Sullivan is that his sitcoms weren't classics. Doubt he'll get the kind of attention Ronnie Barker warranted when he finally goes. " and? What does that prove? Media Attention isn't everything. Just look at all the crap that the media have raved about over the years. What the media do or say dosen't matter, classic shows like "Robins Nest", "Me and My Girl" and "Man About the House" will live on forever in spite of this!

maryportfuncity 10,017 Posted October 25, 2005 Frankly, they aren't exactly 'living' at the moment so forever is a bit ambitious. Agree the media rave about crap - often beacuse palms are stuffed with cash to get this happening. Man About the House and Robin's Nest are so stuck in their time it's doubtful if many outside the generation that saw them will ever regard them as decent work. What next a Wendy Craig revival?

Guest Alan Posted October 25, 2005 These shows are being repeted enough times. "Robins Nest" and "Me and My Girl" for example have both been shown again recently. There will probably always be people who like these shows, they were hugely popular in their time, are rememberd fondly by many now and thanks to the archives can be enjoyed again and again by new viewers.
