Fancying the opposite sex starts early! I must’ve only been at junior school, yet adored an actress in Land of the Giants. Who I now know is Deanna Lund.
The era of the mini skirt.

70’s - Nicholas Ball, I loved Hazell (co written by Terry Venables I think.
Also 70’s - Bouquet of Barbed Wire starred Frank Finlay and the stunning Susan Penhaligon.
Nicholas Ball was married to Pamela Stephenson before she went of with Billy Connelly
My first-ever boss was a definite member of this club.

Ring any bells?!
By the time I worked for him, in 1990, his TV glory days were over and he was running a production company in Maidenhead – which was an epicentre for has-been 70s TV stars, who all seemed to live in nearby places like Bray. Frequently the likes of Ernie Wise and other cronies (including the aforementioned Rolf Harris on one occasion) would wander into our office for an afternoon 'reminisce' over a glass of whisky, and we'd enter a timewarp where comments such as "It's one of the big regrets of my life that I've never made love to a black woman" would be uttered by one of these individuals (naming no names).
Unsurprisingly it wasn't for me, I only stuck it for a year!
And keeping with the Brighton theme, what about Peter Cleall - Duffy in Please, Sir? He was a regular in the Chicken Run, used to stand near me.
Sam Kydd. His face always seemed to be on the TV in the 60s. I knew him from his starring role in the TV series "Orlando".

I'm actually going to invite guesses for this one. Appeared in three series of a costume drama and one series of a comedy series as a 'side kick' to the main star. Never to be seen on the tellybox again. My old mate John, known professionally by his middle name and birthplace. I last saw him at a Brighton game.

Can you tell what it is yet?
Honestly, are you really asking what happened to David IckeWhat a great thread. Had a quick look through. Loved Jack Hargreaves and Chris Peacock. What happened to David Bobin and David Icke. Respect Sports reporters from our local BBC stations.

Doesn't need the cash.What does Bob Geldoff do now ?
Doesn't seem to be very prominent any more.

Doesn't need the cash.
In the silly 90s (when money was sloshing around in TV) he was creating and selling on production companies that don't exist anymore.
His made more money from TV than he ever made as a musician.
His company Planet 24 made The Big Breakfast which was sold to Carlton. Bob's share was 5 million.
He's had other TV production companies ( did Castaway I think) since then and probably has his fingers in a few pots.

Oh, and whatever happened to the finest TV actor of his generation? Yes, I realise he became TJ Syrup, but that doesn't count after the Majesty of his presence as Captain James T ****ing Kirk. Fact.

Hogan’s Heroes, I was probably watching repeats in the mid-70’s. Bob Crane and John Banner (incompetent Schultz) the stars in a good cast. I enjoyed it.
