RIP.

Mrs Mug has never heard of it and I remember it being pretty funny. Geoffrey Hinsliffe's (?) forelock-tugging character especially.

Post by: bobbymax on November 14, 2024, 08:04:12 am: Saw him on stage a few times going back to when I was doing A levels in the 70s. Met him much later through work, he was a nice bloke as well as a fine actor and will be much missed.

Who'd have thought a programme watching a pair of octogenarian thesps on a canal boat would have been such an enjoyable ride.

Good shout BB, that series was a classic.
Just shows how versatile a talent was Timothy West.
