Charlie Drake, Jimmy Edwards and Max Bygraves also.

 

It looks like Roy Walker in the left corner, but I'm not thinking it is. The woman behind Sid James is totally obscured.

I concur, assuming you mean Stanley Baker.

Edwards recognisable for his facial hair!

 

Left corner is apparently Roger Moore, and tbh, he's my favourite Bond and I didn't recognise him from that angle.

 

Drake (apparently I'm mixing him up with Charlie Williams) and Bygraves were the other two I struggled with.

I think you are the first…and last….person in history to mistake Roger Moore for Roy Walker.

Sadly the kid was probably the first to go.

 

It was a Variety Club Christmas special…where celebrities visited very sick kids in hospital. 
 

The old celebs are smiling too much for my liking…whilst Parky is a bit more pensive

The kid is apparently 13 year old Richard Jones of Wales, being honoured for his fundraising. 

 

Getty images also makes Baker Baxter.

Parkinson is the oldest Star in a Reasonably Priced Car on Top Gear, followed by John Prescott.

 

However, Bernie Eccleston guest starred in one episode of Top Gear and although he still seems in fair health today, it is a surprise this 92 year old has managed to evade The DeathList this long.

Well Ecclestone still looks good for 92 and has no known health issues.He may be going senile but then again he has always been very eccentric/ weird.

 

Edit:Had a  heart bypass in 1999.

 

Reckon he will be called up next year or the year after at the latest.

I thought Baker was Alan 'Fluff' Freeman at first if that makes you feel any better.

Actually I must apologise. Your Roy Walker comment totally eclipsed by the earlier “I mistook Charlie Drake for Charlie Williams”.

Names wise! Both were figures before my time, so in my pop culture memory, the black comic who worked with Frank Carson and co on The Comedians was called Charlie Drake till I Google it and am reminded that's the guy who got KO'd for real on live TV in the early 60s instead. It's nowt to do with thinking they look similar.

All in jest, squire…only joking

 

Far more important….did you know Charlie Williams was actually a professional footballer who turned to comedy when he retired.
