Great watching him and Wendy Richards back in the day

One of the few believable actors on Eastenders. Clearly grounded in reality.

He won't be stealing any more Christmas Kitties now, pet.
Missus used to make me watch it.

[Bobbisox1]

I haven’t watched for years but I enjoyed the Dirty Den and Angie Watts sagas and all the Fowlers

[douglas9401]

My most recent viewing was when Pawleen lamped Arfur with a frying pan.

A ripe old age.

I always feel there’s a lot of deaths from famous people around this time of year ,already two today

I've just read that the late Bill Owens son Tom Owen has died. I believe he was in Last of the Summer Wine and other TV Progs.

RIP Bill

[KUSTARD]

And Leslie Phillips has gone as well but to be honest I didn't realise he was still alive. He was very funny though.

[emmie]

both over ninety, Leslie Philips was 98 i think....

"I always feel there's a lot of deaths from famous people around this time of year..."

It's been said in recent years, Bobs, but perhaps we just notice it more at this time of year. IMHO, it doesn't particularly matter when a loved one dies, there will always be those empty spaces around the Christmas dining table.

More elbow room though so not all bad.
