Spider from Coronation Street works in my local cafe. Makes a mean all-day-breakfast sarnie

Anyone else spotted actors and actresses no longer on the telly?

He's in Holby City isn't he? As an experimenter and tube-cleaner.

When I worked at Dow Jones, there was a heated debate when a bloke identical, and I mean identical, to the actor who played early Only Fools And Horses bit part character Mickey Pearce came in to do something electrical.

Since her career faded, former Neighbours actress Kimberley Davies can often be found handcuffed to my bed, if that counts?

Where's that Izzy who used to be on Hollyoaks and Debbie Dean who made a cameo appearance a few weeks back I'd slip both them one.

[Professor P]

Isn't he a drug addict now? Of course, he could be an electrician too, but I remember reading something about him a few months ago which was talking about how messed up his life is.

Sadly, one of the red tops did run an unsavoury story about Mickey falling on hard times and drugs were mentioned.

I can only confirm that in the mid 90's, between Only Fools and Horses christmas specials, the actor playing Mickey Pearce used to spend all day and most evenings in the Hollerhans Tavern, New Cross, where I was the guitarist in the utterly shite house band. He used to dance like a mental wearing that little pork pie hat he wore on the telly.

Now, Uncle Albert…the shittest character on British TV. Apart from Cassandra. Discuss.

YOURE WRONG!!!! Uncle Albert was class, the weakest OFAH character was Mickey Pierce. Oh and his mate Jevon but he was only a bit part wasn't he.

 

[bhaexpress]

Absolutely. Uncle Albert was brilliant, and Cassandra wasn't bad. In fact, I even liked Micky Pearce a fair bit too. There's not really ANY character in OFAH who isn't worth their place.

Uncle Albert, actor Buster Merriefield sadly died a couple of years ago.

Fat Barry was in the Navy. He joined up at the same time as I did. One of us pursued a career wearing makeup, dressing up, and snogging pig-ugly birds wiv Lahndan accents.
