Dennis gone. I can't believe it. Me, Richard O'Sullivan (birthday yesterday) dear Robin Askwith, what great times we had! Dennis & I would meet up in Spain every year. This was the last time before the wretched pandemic, 2019. We had plans to meet up again this August - so sad

With my dear friend, actor David Graham. You might know him better as 'Parker' from 'Thunderbirds' 'Grandpa Pig' & was one of the original Dalek voices. He had a stroke 6 months ago & can't get out. But this young 96-year old is making a great recovery doing voice work from home!

He was bloomin' good in 'Stand Up Virgin Soldiers'. He had enthusiasm for everything. Never heard him badmouth anybody and he was great fun to work with. Always brought an energy to 'Dr in the House'. We lost him too early sadly. But whilst he was with us, boy did he enjoy life!

@Thegeorgelayton I adored working with him on the very first episode ever of the Minder. He was such a gentleman. We were night filming for a week and he was soo kind and allowed me takes turns having a nap in his Winnebago. One of the nicest men in showbusiness

SUCCESS!! See message from 3G: "Hello Mr Layton, Thank you for your time today. I have closed your account with Three. I cleared the balance of £48.71 and refunded a total of £150 directly to your bank account." Phew!! Moral: Keep persevering. Don't let them grind you down. 📷

I don’t normally post stuff like this but a friend told me off for not joining in the fun of posting a photo of yourself at age 20 and also a work photo. Well this is both. 20 years old and ad pic from Sweet Charity. There I’ve done it so now I can go back to being Bah Humbug!

Hello @Robin_Askwith - the Birthday Boy! Not only have a great day - have a great "Naughty but Niche" night at The Phoenix Club. If you were unlucky & haven't got a ticket for Robin's sell-out show - just mention my name. Won't help but it's nice to be talked about...

I am looking forward reading my stories about a self-confessed coward growing up in the 50's. No social media maybe, but the unnamed narrator has the same childhood fears & anxieties that kids have today - bullying, peer pressure. Hope to see you at the wonderful Cinema Museum.

I do love this photo. Love it so much you'll note no Peter Noone/Brian Jones flip comments. That's because I have eyes only for the beautiful (inside & out) Lynda B. What a great person & a joy to work with. Lynda played my wife more times than my wife...

I met David Lodge in 1965 as a young actor when he played Gerry Barford, Manager of BBC's fictional Brentwich United. He & his gorgeous wife (French, if I remember correctly) were frequent dinner guests. Great raconteur, wonderful (Peter Sellers) stories! Could listen for hours!

I certainly remember with great affection doing several Kenny Everett shows. I can't recall this sketch but I think my lady companion was April Walker. A lovely person, we were in the same class at RADA. Kenny was a genius. Some of the scripts were by the great Barry Cryer.

Very sad to hear of the passing of Sydney (Syd) Lotterby. A lovely man. Worked with him first when he was a studio floor manager. Then as director & producer. He had a wonderful temperament, essential when directing divas of both genders! Not me I add - but then, maybe...Bye Syd.

Final memory of 'my pal' Sir Bobby Charlton. In 2011 he & his wonderful wife Norma travelled all the way from M/c to be Guest of Honour at a charity concert where I read The Fib to music esp. composed by eminent Maestra, Debbie Wiseman, played by the RPO. What an evening it was!
