I saw David Bellamy talking about Steve Irwin the other day. I thought he was dead.


I couldn't help but think the same too, same goes for Terry Nutkins, he hasn't been on TV for years, but we was being interviewed on BBC Radio Manchester last week when they were talking about Steve Irwin's death.

Laughing sorry, made me laugh.

Terry's hairline used to baffle me as a kid. I used to think he stuck hairpieces on! "Now over to Michaela at the bird sanctuary.."

Mike Yarwood decided to take a year-long sabbatical in 1987 from ITV, and ITV (Thames) didn't renew his contract; possibly owing to falling ratings, also the success of vicious parody shows ( Spitting Image etc) and alternative comedy. MY was considered 'old-guard'.


Having a female prime minister didn't help his career much either!


For sketches involving Maggie, they usually drafted in Margaret Brown. I think they got her to play Diana also? Confused


It was Janet Brown - well known as a comedienne and impressionist in her own right - and the wife of Carry-On start Peter Butterworth.

That was who I was trying to think of, doh. She appeared on the end of For Your Eyes Only playing Margaret Thatcher did she Laughing Thanks for clearing that up anyway
