Paul Bearer 6,119 Posted March 28, 2018 Seems to be having a bit of a resurgence at the moment being mentioned in a couple of ( over 50's) adverts. Was also on Chris Evans radio show this morning. At 83, thought he might be worth a punt. (Couldn't find a thread for him, apologies if one exists) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
time 8,641 Posted March 28, 2018 Seeing this prompted to wonder if the Parky theme composer Harry Stoneham is still with us. Best I can establish is that He was three years ago, approaching 85, not in the best of health. I'd like to think that had he gone, he'd have received coverage. Maybe one for you Deadpool Detectives. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lord Fellatio Nelson 6,221 Posted March 28, 2018 IIRC, his missus, Mary, was pretty ill at one stage. She will deffo get an obit as she was quite a high profile broadcaster in the 70s and early 80s. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought Parky was older than 83 for some reason. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joey Russ 7,234 Posted September 10, 2019 I don’t think it’s a good idea to tear apart the great Hosni Mubarak. I mean, I tried to do that when he was known as Robert Mugabe and he definitely got the best of me. You have been warned 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Arsewipe 202 Posted September 11, 2019 Seeing as he was the host of Give Us a Clue for a long time could we tag oldest survivors from that show on here? Of the three team captains during its run, Lionel Blair is 90 now, Una Stubbs 82 and Liza Goddard 69. I would hazard a guess that almost half the guests who have appeared on the show have now departed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
