Loved Pat,’she knows you know’Pat Coombes ended up here, a care home for theatricals. I have never heard of this one, I have only heard of Brinsworth. This one has an illustrious rollcall of formal residents if you read the wiki.
Ah, for the 'pre-woke' days in which people didn't read subtext into everything gender based and the 'jokes' were on the men as much as the women.I still watch the Carry On films whenever I can. I just find them so relaxing and laugh out loud at all the jokes again and again. One of my favourites is Carry on Cabby with Hattie Jaques and Sid James. She plays the downtrodden wife who starts her own rival cab company. Early Feminism at work in the 60s
Yes, it must be hard to be any type of performer these days, particularly those who improvise. You would be second guessing yourselves all the time. Colleen Nolan said, in an interview about Loose Women, it’s a different show these days. Before speaking they have to factor in the abuse they will get on social media, and how different that is from days of yore. Obviously she isn’t the subject matter of this thread but it shows the self censorship going on.

The plot device was based on a tragic incident in Gene Tierney's life.I know this film star was American but I read somewhere the Agatha Christie book (which was a Tv show) Miss Marple I believe,The mirror cracked from side to side,was based on the American film star Loretta Young.
Ahhh I actually thought i got it wrong I thought now was it Gene Tierney? Yes not nice was it?The plot device was based on a tragic incident in Gene Tierney's life.
I've always thought it was rather cruel of Christie to exploit it in her book.

I liked the Stanley Holloway quote on this - I thought Noel C was supposed to have said it rather than SH.
