Bobby Knutt

[Asaw]

Just seen him on Hoyland looked like the Michelin man in a Ferrari jacket and I think Donna was with him.

Remember him in Corrie-I think he owned the garage that Kevin subsequently bought. Also in The Price of Coal he was in a pit accident and was recognised by his red socks.

hey, I used to work out alot in Donna Hartley's gym club on West Street many years ago in 1991 and 1992. I had great times. Did the gym club stop?

Now I live in new york usa and i would like to know how Donna is doing. Does she have an email address?

I'm reading Bobby Knutts autobiography at the minute and I'm really enjoying it...some funny stuff went on back in the goold old days lol. He was certainly a jack the lad! I remember seeing him in panto when I was a kid and took my daughters to the Lyceum when he was in Cinderella and Aladdin...it was like de ja vu hearing them shout "ey up knutty" . I hope he's going to be appearing in the next panto...we missed him this year although it must be hard work, especially for someone his age, doing panto every day, twice a day for over a month. My nan lives in the house that marti cane used to live in apparently (or the house that her nan lived in-not sure which) and he used to visit a house just down our street, in Shiregreen to do weight lifting in this blokes garage. I rememebr seeing him pull up once when I was a kid and I was star struck lol. He's a local legend in my eyes anyway

I went to his son's last night drama party in York many years ago. His son and Bobby's original wife were really nice people as I met Bobby's sons original mother later. I remember all the drama students their. They were all talking about some Nazi real time training they had. It really freaked them all. Chris Stiles drove me to the party in an open top merc, white! Fun night for all. We all got drunk by an open fire, in a mansion drama training school 'til 4 in the morning. It was like some lost footage from Withnail and I. Can you remember Chris? Plus Justine hepplewhite!!! I met her not long after through Chris. Wonderful woman she was, wonderful friends and fun nights!

Anyone know what Bobby Knutt is doing these days ?

We used love his shows when he did the WMC scene. The last time I saw him was at The Crucible in the panto Mother Goose, years ago. We get an ad for Tetley Tea here in Australia and I'm sure it's Bobby Knutts voice. Every time I hear him I laugh as I'm transported back in time to his hilarious act.

 

he was doing snow white and seven dwarfs at xmas was good too

Can you remember when he was in a duo called Pea & knutt?I saw him in the Walkley WMC one Sunday before the stripper came on.

I believe she did but, we didn't really have anything to do with her after my parents split.

His original act was the Whirlwinds. At this time, it was expected that during the bands interval, someone would tell a joke or 2. Robert did this one day when the comedian didn't turn up. He found he was more successful doing this than being a musician. He then formed the double act Pea & Nut.
