One of those people who I thought was dead years ago but occasionally pops up on FB and Twitter very much alive.

Yeah saw that.
92 is a good knock, but sad all the same.
Was a bit young for Man about the house, but I remember George and Mildred well.
It was a welcome surprise to see him in his takeaway using cameo in the Catherine Tate show. |  |

For some reason George & Mildred was absolutely massive in Spain, easily the most loved show in the year or two after I arrived here. Benny Hill was probably second and The Young Ones not far behind.
Never really understood the mass appeal, I mean it was half decent at the time but they were almost cult heros here in the late 80s (10 years after the last episodes were made). Mind you, Saturday night tv in Spain today still resembles what was being shown on uk tv in the 70s. There still an It's a knockout show on one of the public tv channels played out between villages and variety shows with ventriloquists - ventriloquists ffs. |  | | |

Isn't there some nut on here (aware of hypocrisy) who goes on about George and Mildred all the time. Or have I imagined that too? |  |

Anyone else prepared to admit to a weird childhood crush on Yootha Joyce? | |

Brian was 44 when G&M started filming.
Yootha was 49
The 70s were tough. |  |

I think I also remember him as the slightly strange friend of bed-bound Mr Merton....
He used to sit by the side of his bed and sing to him iirc
Mr Merton was much like Captain Mainwaring's wife, frequently referenced but never seen...the very best sort of comic creation |  | | |

The film where they think George is a hitman is brilliant for it's time. Always makes me smile. RIP Bri. |  | | |

In this country one of the most popular radio shows back in the 50s starred a ventriloquist. Work that out. |  | | |

I met her c.1975 at a fete in Clare, along with the chap who played Albert Tatlock. She was lovely and kissed my hand; he didn't :-)
More pertinently, best George & Mildred line:
"Mr Groper?"
"What?"
"Oh, I'm sorry. Mr G. Roper?" [Post edited 4 Feb 13:59]

Must admit that i thought she had great legs. She was only 53 when she died. Don't suppose the alcoholism helped. | | | |

When I lived in the Canary Islands in the early 90's I went out with the stepdaughter of Glynn Edwards (Dave the Barman). She told me how Glynn and Yootha were very close right up until her death and she deteriorated terribly over the years due to her alcoholism. | |
