Just Some Guy Posted April 13, 2025 Posted April 13, 2025 Mike Berry aged 82. Last surviving cast member of Are You Being Served. Also appeared in the Jon Pertwee version of Worzel Gummidge. Here he is with one of his hit singles Quote
davertfnewman Posted April 13, 2025 Posted April 13, 2025 Rest in peace Jean Marsh. Willow is not a great movie, but she and Patrick Roach were both fantastic in it as the villains Queen Bavmorda and General Kael. Obviously created Upstairs, Downstairs and The House of Elliott, which I think every woman watched in the seventies and nineties. Quote

She was absolutely terrifying to me as Princess Mombi in Return to Oz. Just one of those actors who was solid in practically everything you saw her in. Good companion of the first Doctor as well.

Paid Members Thunderplex Posted April 13, 2025 Paid Members Posted April 13, 2025 Didn’t know she created Upstairs Downstairs. Quote
Paid Members Surf Digby Posted April 13, 2025 Paid Members Posted April 13, 2025 Today I learned that Bavmorda, Mombi and Sara Kingdom were all played by the same person. Definitely a case of me buying into the character and not the actor. Quote
davertfnewman Posted April 14, 2025 Posted April 14, 2025 Actor Nicky Katt has died. He's not really famous, but has been in a load of things like The 'Burbs, Dazed and Confused, a lot of small parts in big films. Oddly, I remember his name from the credits of The Get Along Gang, where he played Leland Lizard. Quote

King Coconut Posted April 21, 2025 Posted April 21, 2025 Is the old one still knocking about? They could get him in as interim pope until god makes his mind up about the next one. Quote
