The other week me and my parents were talking bout Victoria Wood and I was certain her ex husband; Geoffrey Durham died about 10 years ago, so was quite surprised to see he was still alive and in fact had stepped back from performing in 2006. Doddy is only doing six shows a month (or less), not that i am suggesting he has turned into a malingerer! He will die with his shoes on (if he is mortal?). Such a legendary performer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similarly, although kind of the reverse of this topic, I'm watching Enterprise and Kellie Waymire is a part of the cast. I was thinking oh, yeah, I know her, she's cute, she pops up in stuff all the time. Nope. She died in 2003, aged 36. Is there another actress that looks a lot like her that I'm thinking of?

Hugh Thesz Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Add me to the "I heard the Great Soprendo died years ago" list. I'm usually good at the alive or dead game so when Victoria Wood sadly died last year I was amazed to find he was alive. Was there a false report of his death circa 2006?

Must have got him mixed up with some other rotund Northern entertainer who died recently. I saw the same flyers and thought the same thing tonight at that wonderful chippy in Heaton Moor.

This was at George's in South Reddish. Wonder if I'll bump into him again in Merseyway like last time he was in panto here. He was very jolly. Ted Robbins, that is, not George.

simonworden Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 This thread made me think of Michael Fish. Remember seeing him in Bournemouth outside a conference centre/ swimming pool in the 90s and he look ancient. Was surprised he is only in his mid 70s now and only stopped working last year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members bAzTNM#1 Posted November 17, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted November 17, 2017 (edited) I'm always amazed MIke Yarwood is still with his. He was everywhere on Saturday night TV in the 80s and early 90s, then just disappeared. 76 and an OBE too.

It aired on BBC4 last year, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's something a little of the Jennifer Lawrence about her, and also a little of the Helen Baxendale too. This might be an odd one, but I had it in my head that someone on here had posted about Bob Carolgees carking it a few years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyattSheepMask Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Denis Norden from It'll Be Alright On The Night, he's 95. I thought that he'd snuffed it and that's why Griff Rhys Jones took over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
