I would really love to see someone like George Formby, Charles Hawtrey, Benny Hill or Norman Wisdom play Bond but not as a spoof proper serious acting it would be awesome .Sorry all my suggestions are no longer with us but I unfortunately don’t know many actors these days, maybe some suggestions please.

that's Johnny English isn't it? without the 'funnies'
I’m coming on here as a massive Girls Aloud fan. They shaped my childhood and spent my teenage years “fangirling” and going to all their concerts. I’m absolutely heartbroken to hear about Sarah’s cancer. She has always been the most fiery in the group and I love her for that. She’s great to watch. She hasn’t had the most easy time in life but I’m hoping and praying that she pulls through. Sending Sarah lots of love and strength.
Just got back from a GP appointment and I found out I have pleurisy, and that he thinks I had Covid-19 that was mistaken as a chest infection back in February. So please some gossip to cheer me up.
Isn’t it true that faxes are accepted in law, but email/electronic messages are not?Hahaha someone asked me about a fax machine yesterday, I nearly embarrassed myself and said that we have a printer/scanner
Also a massive fan since day dot and I can honestly say that If anyone can fight the big c is Sarah ‘f*cking’ Harding. X
That’s what I’m on about no jokes or spoof a typical Bond film played straight with a highly inappropriate actor, sorry I have a strange sense of humour

My favourite modern gormless actor at the moment is Hugh Skinner. He was Will in W1a and Prince William in The Windsors. I find him hilarious!
Bond is so boringly predictable and reductive that it will be yet another dull pretty boy with no gay rumours swirling around.

YesI can’t bear them, even the amazing stunts leave me cold.
Charles Hawtrey was quite the character from bits and pieces I've read over the years...

Take it easy
I’ve had both of those, and I’m still here.

Running low on gossip.
Have to have memory jogged.
One thing that Shirley Bassey and talk of dull pretty boys reminded me of.
My uncle swears blind SB used to send a Rolls to collect his mate so they could “go out” HOwever, it seems clear from the context it was a 1960s version of a booty-call, but my uncle pretended to believe they were courting, as he wouldn’t talk to me about that!
Apparently the passenger was a very good looking bloke, although dull as my mum went out with him to the pictures once and was underwhelmed.
Never repeated the date.
So S B “went out” with my mums reject!
My aunt also verified the story.
Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Was he the one who picked up men in public toilets or was that Wilfred Bramble or both
Mind you as a Bond villain he’d be good, if love to see him disposed of in a way which was uncomfortable for him to film
Hawtry was the one who had to be rescued from a house fire when he was quite old and a couple of young blokes were also rescued from the bedroom( from the fire) he wasn’t doing a Boy GeorgeWas he the one who picked up men in public toilets or was that Wilfred Bramble or both
Absolutely gutted to hear the news about Sarah Harding today. I grew up as an ‘Alouder’ and was at most of their tours, she always stood out as she just loves the tour life and the audience always gave her so much energy, she thrives from a great crowd! Only 38 as well, I pray she makes a full recovery x
He was an irascible old soak and quite well known for making a nuisance of himself in the local boozers.
Kenneth William's story is equally fascinating. His diaries are well worth a read. More than a touch of the harry Corbett (I.e deeply resented the thing that made them famous) both wanted to be 'serious' actors, etc
No never married but had a long term relationship with Karen from bananarama.No, I think you’re right they do look similar - maybe that explains it
Hes been married a long time hasn’t he? Not that that means anything of course! #schofield
I think you mean Harry H Corbett, rather than the Sooty and Sweep man Harry Corbett.
Didn’t they only split up a couple of years ago?
I completely agree, plus he used the most monotonous voice throughout. I got my credit back from Audible.
I wish Sarah well too x
