Its all been rather wonderful....

Did anyone else catch that programme about the career and life of the inimitable John Le Mesurier? Was brilliant. He really was a lovely fellow...

I thought it sounded very good. I'm looking forward to watching it on iPlayer tomorrow.

It was. Clive Dunn has aged really well. When you watch it, he's in a nice leather jacket and sunglasses that suit him even for his age. I'd love to ask Ian Lavender why they never did a big reveal that Pike was Wilson's son....would have been a really lovely ending to the show...

I watched the programme........I felt really sorry for him when he came on stage for Hattie's 'This is your life' keeping up a pretence for audiences must have been soul destroying........and I'm not saying anymore incase marine boy hasn't watched it yet

Indeed. No wonder he drank. When ever I watch an episode I really envy Ian Lavender, it must have been brilliant working on the show. Would love to ask him about it if I ever was lucky to bump into him.
