If you ever get a chance go to An Evening With Ken Dodd - it will knock spots off any comedian that is alternatively alive today.

would never have thought him as funny mate.

Well I dont know whether you would class him as a celebrity, Yet he has more fame than some that are on a certain TV programme airing at present. That is The King of Knotty Ash. Mr Ken Dodd.

I see Herbie at Batley MOT Centre near Tescos nearly every day. Now it may not be the actual Herbie from 'Herbie the Love Bug' and 'Herbie Rides Again' but he is the spitting Image if it isn't.

Gordon Kaye bought my Uncles MG sports car off him in Huddersfield when he was doing 'Allo'Allo. It was white with a soft top and I was sick in it down my uncles neck on the way to Blackpool when I was young.

none of the names i can mention are actually alive now,but still i live in an area rich in culture,D.H lawrence,lord Byron,and Eric Coates,i hate to name drop but you know how it is!!!!!!!

Oh yeah well try this one..... Eddie Waring..... Impressed? Yep I thought so

Julie Hesmondhalgh who plays Hayley Cropper in Corrie lives in a village near me called Broadbottom (they named it after me!). Stuart Hall used to live not far from me and Tony Warren who started Corrie, Wilf McGuinnes (extrainer of MUFC) and Joseph Locke singer all frequented the pub my parents kept in the 60s.

Oh well done! Now you've said the names I know they're the ones. Thanks for that

I think I can help out here. Geoffrey Hughes is the actor who played Eddie Yeats and Onslow in 'Keeping Up Appearances'.

The 'Chase Me' bloke was Duncan Norvelle.

Re: Which celebs live near you

Oh & I nearly forgot another friend does the hair of the wife of the bloke that used to be in Corrie & Hycinth Bucket - can't for the life of me think of his name; chubby chap I think he plays Hycinths sisters husband. In Corrie I think he was a friend or lodger of Hilda & Stan - just had a thought, think his name might be Eddie Yates. Oh and I heard a few years back that a girl I went to school with married the 'Chase me' catch phrase bloke - can't remember his name either - must be my age!!

One of JLS comes from my nearby town. Ernie Wise also lived in the town many moons ago. Wolfie (darts player) stills lives at the end of the street where I used to live (I moved a few miles away a couple of years ago) My friend used to pack parachutes with Showaddywaddy's drummer's brother and another friend of mine used to train Lester Pigotts horses.

Re: Which celebs live near you

and I dont know if you guys got the show Degrassi Junior High over there, but i lived a block away from Degrassi Street, and used to shop in the drug store where they always went to buy condoms.
and if you know who Sarah Polley is, I worked with her brother, he is a lawyer and rides a motorcycle and is totally hot!!!

In the U.K. we got both 'The Kids Of Degrassi Street' and 'Degrassi Junior High'. I remember watching the first of these more than the second.
