Here’s the Vincent Price episode of Blankety Blank. He is the personification of charm but you also have the joy of Beryl Reid & Larry Grayson seated next to each other & an adorably ditzy Carol Drinkwater m.youtube.com/watch?v=0fE7...

I think in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s death I was too absolute about how you shouldn’t be glad someone’s been killed. I will make an exception for people who’ve raped babies.

The thing I most miss about my childhood is the voiceover informing me that one of the actors in the programme I just watched is appearing in When Did You Last See Your Trousers? in a provincial theatre

Ahh, my dad WAS with Unigate but by the time I went with him had moved to Tom Parker

His biggest seller was a house number plaque with an owl on it to which he affixed the numbers while people waited. He sent one to his fave Corrie characters, Mavis & Derek, but they wrote to say it arrived broken, with a signed photo that was pinned up in our hall for years

My dad used to make and sell garden ornaments at car boot sales, to which I would diligently accompany him each Sunday and vigorously browse with the £2 he gave me. The origin of the love of old junk from the 60s & 70s that dominates my life to this day.

Up until my mum died when I was 10 my dad was a milkman & I went with him on his round on Saturday mornings (up at 3am, break at about 8 for a Milky Lunch bar & the latest Beano for me, page 3 for my dad). The tips I got from elderly customers paid for my Dr Who video collection.

My dad died this afternoon. He was the loveliest man I’ve ever known.
