My fav tv show RiP David and thank you

Always one on every RIP thread…

Hey, I have no problem with people speaking out to break rose coloured glasses as long as they don't want you to scrub the person's work from the historical record. I enjoyed him as Hutch but it is always good to separate the person from the character they played. If only people could realise that it is quite plausible, normal even, to be good at your job and a dick at home and really the two should be separate as far as the law permits.

Not exactly a good guy. He was married five times and a wife beater with one of them.

How does being married five times make him ‘not a good guy’? Make your point by all means Yorkie, but come on...

I was cruising the 1:32 streets in this just a week ago . . .



RIP

 

[Van Cleef]

I could never work out whether he was a drug dealer or a pimp (maybe both), seemed to have no visible means...

I have it on good authority his income was split equally between drugs and pimping. Personally I would have had him down as a pimp though.
His income from the nark police slush fund remains unknown to this day.

And did you ever own the white Starsky cardigan?

I actually knitted one for my then husband

RIP David

Would you put Gary Glitter in that bracket?

For me, the background of a person can, and often does, inform how you receive their art. I can’t always separate the two.

Thoughts at this sad time with Huggy Bear

Really?

Starsky yes, but let’s not dress it up Huggy was a grass


RIP Hutch

Let he who is without sin etc.

Let he who is without sin etc.

Im not holier than though, more it influences how I receive/perceive stuff e.g. Morrissey

Would you put Gary Glitter in that bracket?

Of course I can, the law took care of him, not as well as many of us would have liked, but he got punished. As to his music, it is up to the individual person if they want to separate that from his paedophilia

Sure I agree, the important part of your post is "I can't ........." Rather than what is happening at the moment which is "you cannot"
