Disappointing to read that about Michael Palin - he's considered one of the nice guys.
I wonder if Stephen was having a bad time of it psychologically - I know he has his bi-polar episodes.
Didn't Ed "Stewpot" Stewart have some skeevy borderline-paedophile allegations levelled against him? Let's not forget John Peel used to do that "Schoolgirl Of The Year" thing.Talking of Crackerjack, there’s an interesting blog entry by Scaryduck here talking about Ed ‘Stewpot’ Stewart‘s autobiography. He really wasn’t a nice man (Stewart that is, not Scaryduck).

If you have a look at the link I put up it mentions when he met his wife. He was 29 at the time and she was 13. They met at Jimmy Savile’s house. *Shudder*
I had a huge yellow ski jacket from there now you’ve reminded me. For those cold Aberdeen winters
Yuk. You wonder what the (ex) wife has to say with the benefit of hindsight, even though society back then was quite different. Apparently he was the Queen Mum's favourite broadcaster.
Shame, I remember Ed affectionately from Crackerjack days (can just about remember them!).
I remember buying pink Thinsulate ski gloves from the Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow store for £6 (was a considerable price for gloves then) - think Thinsulate was quite new - this was around 1984/5. I always wear Thinsulate gloves in the winter
I was in Brussels a few years ago and there’s a C&A there. I remember in the late 1980’s I had a black strapless dress with white polka dots which I bought from C&A. I used to wear it to go clubbing with loads of necklaces on and a black silk scarf tied in a huge bow on my head like Madonna. I thought I looked the dog’s doodahs.
Yes, the BBC are now animating the missing Doctor Who Episodes. They have all the soundtracks that people recorded at home, and have been digitally remastered. There are another 14 stories left to go (7 Hartnell, and 7 Troughtons).
Excellent.
I thought I was the only person who remembered Deuce! I still have their album somewhereI can’t remember if it was a c&a but I defo did the same in a department store, I’m sure it was through the cafe area
I once queued on the long steps at the side of HMV in Aberdeen to get a single signed by DeuceIm not even sure I knew what I was queuing for but felt exciting at the time.
Here is a animated clip from Power of the Daleks. Btw, it's rumoured that Patrick Troughton died whilst having sex with a fan at a convention. Good way to go.......
And the two women Gillian Comber and Pip PintonThere were different presenters over the years, but I always remember Leslie Crowther and Peter Glaze. If I remember correctly, the prizes on the show included a Crackerjack pencil
I am disappointed that Palin was such an idiotReminds me, I used to be in middle management for a well known book store in London. We used to have a huge amount of celebs come in to do signings. Poor Audley Harrison had about five people come to his, and therefore his two giant bouncers wearing TEAM HARRISON bomber jackets and sunglasses looked a little ridiculous.
We also had Michael Palin in who was an arse. Said he didn’t like our staff room for sitting in, so the manager moved him to her office instead. He then made a fuss over his coffee we got him, and knocked it accidentally all down his trousers and all over the manager’s computer keyboard, ruining it.
Stephen Fry came in and wouldn’t look at any of the staff, keeping his eyes firmly on the floor. He seemed very out of it.
Bruce Forsyth was very nice, had a huge turnout and proceeded to do NICE TO SEE YOU, TO SEE YOU NICE with the crowd.
Oh and Niall Quinn came in to do a signing. He arrived and went up to my colleague and said ‘hi, I’m here for the signing’. Male colleague who wasn’t in to football replied ‘I’m sorry, Niall Quinn isn’t here yet.’ So Niall smiles and says ‘no, no, I’m here for the signing!’. Colleague repeats that Niall Quinn isn’t here yet.
I met Michael Palin once at a book signing in Watford. The store staff said he would only sign the brand new book he was plugging but Palin was happy to sign my well read copy of Full Circle. He was nice enough on this particular day at least.
Lisa armstrong the MUA and ex wife of ant was in dueceI thought I was the only person who remembered Deuce! I still have their album somewhere
Bonus points if you can name a Deuce song without looking on google
On the bible was the one I remember. I remembered Lisa from the pre-Ant days. Now their other hit single was........
Deuce were hailed as the poor man's Steps by journos.
Ouch!
Ouch!
I once saw Lisa with Michelle McManus on a flight from London to Aberdeen, I think she was maybe her make up artist at the time. Sat two rows back, so close to fame
