cressida Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 Bob Carolgees - saw his house recently on 'Through the keyhole', it was very large & luxurious inside, three top sports cars around the drive - and I thought, all he did was use a fake dog which spits.

lovelace Posted June 30 Author Share Posted June 30 Yes, I'd forgotten about him. Little & Large were about as good. A lot of these were just jumped up club turns who didn't last long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prince Ken Dodd Ted Rogers Frankie Howerd Mike & Bernie Winters ..... and even further back; Arthur Askey Ted Ray Burt Lancaster Difficult to say. A lot of mixture in this list. A lot of TV presenters in the 70s 80s were theatre performers (how bad, I don't know) Ken Dodd, I heard was good live. 2 hours ago, cressida said: Bob Carolgees - saw his house recently on 'Through the keyhole', it was very large & luxurious inside, three top sports cars around the drive - and I thought, all he did was use a fake dog which spits. yeah... both of these I don't recall being very good. However, if they made a lot of money from sticking their fist into a puppets arse, and made a lot of money, then it's difficult to criticise, I feel. 22 minutes ago, cressida said: What of Rod Hull and Emu, did he do anything else?

lovelace Posted June 30 Author Share Posted June 30 That tells me you liked Prince ? I find it hard to understand his appeal, his songs are tripe if you really listen to them. Still, each to their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
