[TV] Largely Forgotten TV Personalities of the 60s, 70s and 80s

[ozzygull]

I remember this, but don't know what happen to Jill Gascoine

 

[Cadiz Seagull]

Clodagh Rodgers



I always fancied her! I bought her a drink once or, to be more precise, the Royal Garden Hotel in Kensington where I was night manager did, but I signed the bill

I believe she now lives in Sussex. I don't suppose anyone has her address or telephone number by any chance?

A mate of mine shagged her in the early 80s (or so he claimed and he's not normally a fibber). I see that she has advanced Alzheimer's now, which is desperately sad.

 

[Whoislloydy]

If they worked for the BBC they've not been forgotten, they're just probably in prison....

Was also in that drama just been on TV...you know the one with the psycho bloke who moves in to a household and seduces the mum..oh what was it called...Neil Morrisey was in it and she played his mum.

Penance

James Montgomery, presenter of Southern TV in the 70s and 80s.

I know you would probably all prefer a pic of his "punching above his weight" partner of the time Fiona Richmond but this post is not about her so hard luck.

Just learnt he died in December 2019. I don't remember a James Montogomery RIP thread.

Remember seeing Fiona Richmond on the Palace Pier in the 'play' Pyjamas Tops. I can see a giant fish tank on stage with several nude girls swimming in it. Great actress!!!!!

The mention of UFO reminded me of Gabrielle Drake and Ayshea

Kelly Monteith. Thought he was quite funny back in the day.

 

[Sussexscots]

Anyone remember Ace of Wands on ITV in the early 70's.

Lead was played by Michael MacKenzie. Never saw him in anything else.

 

[marlowe]

Francis Matthews always seemed to be on TV when I was a kid. He was usually playing Paul Temple....

 

[Lady Whistledown]

I spent most of my childhood thinking her name was Juliet Bravo.

Max Boyce

You've got to be kidding me. You turn on the TV to any programme made in Wales and he seems to be there. In the run-up to any rugby international, he seems to be there. Go to a Welsh game and he's there

I do believe he's been ill lately and hasn't been around for a couple of years but he was everywhere before that.

I spoke to him not so long ago to tell him that my Dad had sadly passed away at the beginning of last month. Dad organised a gig for Max at the Priory School in Lewes just after his first album "Live at Treorchy" had been released and they remained firm friends ever since.

 

[The Merry Prankster]

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.

That’s Johnny Aden Gillett. Ex Sussex Uni. I was good friends with his brother Charlie In Guernsey where they lived. . Used to have a flat in Brunswick Square (or was it Palmeira). Saw him (but not to talk to)last time we played Brentford away. Unfair to say he disappeared with out trace when he was in this comic masterpiece in Worthing last year

Brilliant! As I posted earlier I worked with them both at the Royal Pavillion Tavern.

Glad John's still at it. He's looking a bit Pete Posselthwaite lately But....aren't we all?

Brunswick.
