Dr Hackenslash 25 Posted January 23, 2006 It's actually an impossible list to complete. Clive's immortal - come a nuclear war all that will be left are cockroaches and old Dunny. Don't panic, mind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,647 Posted January 25, 2006 Hackenslash, that Wikipedia entry has now been modified to get closer to the truth. Clearly, he didn't disappear from the screen until 1984 when they cancelled the show. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dr Hackenslash 25 Posted January 25, 2006 I would love to know how the show was cancelled in 1984 as most of the cast were dead by then... It ran from 1968-1977. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think you'll find mpfc was referring to this show. Grandad, fair enough. Thinking about it...an man pretending to be a grandad figure when he is actually younger. Then that man disappears abroad for years and is hardly ever heard from. Perhaps Dunny should re-realease Grandad as a duet with Gary Glitter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Octopus of Odstock 2,197 Posted January 27, 2006 You don't think this could be the beginning of the end, could it??? Eye trouble is often the first sign... One hopes not, but gain strength from Sir John Mills. Eyesight really started failing early-mid 80's. Died aged 97. In that case, old Dunny has bout 15 years yet.

maryportfuncity 10,647 Posted February 22, 2006 Failing eyesight is a poor indication of overall health. Stevie Wonder is alive and well and coming up 56 years of bumping into furniture. Clive's nowhere near Dunn yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Clive's nowhere near Dunn yet. But Wonder has always been blind - a degradation in eye-sight could be a symptom of many potentially debilitating illnesses. Or it could be just old age. I for one would be happy if Dunny kept dodging the reaper for many more years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dr Hackenslash 25 Posted February 22, 2006 I would also be more than happy if Dunny made a century. But I would love him to make just one more TV appearance in an outrageous role, in the same way I want Steve Davis to win just one more World Snooker Title before he retires.

How about a late night special of "Last of the Summer Wine" with Dunny guest starring as a Tourettes sufferer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
