Soop's X Special Kitcheners

NanKate, crikey that's going some!

Yes Loopylou Ty Hardin was good looking. I have just checked and he has got divorced 7 times and now is on his 8th wife so it's just as well we didn't set our caps at him, as we may have ended up on the scrap heap.

How about Dougie Howser?

Ty Hardin (Bronc Lane) was my idol [drooling emoticon] and Davy Jones of the Monkees until I found out he wasn't 6' tall!

Not only was Richard Chamberlain beige, he was also gay. Little hope for any of us.

My sister and I saw Bill Simpson (Dr Findlay) on a train once, but couldn't summon up the courage to say hello to him. I preferred his saturnine Celtic good looks to the bland looks of Dr Kildare whom I thought of as rather beige. (Runs for cover)

I loved Dr. Kildare, hardly missed an episode. Did anybody mention Dr. Findlay's Casebook and all of the vet series, I cannot remember the titles now.

I have vague memories of Ben Casey.

Anyone remember Ben Casey?......

Dr. Kildare. I loved him very much.

mcem Dr Finlay was another favourite of mine. What did Richard Chamberlain star in on television.? He was a doctor...and yummy with it.

If you enjoy the nostalgia of these old radio programmes investigate radio 4extra. Life with the Lyons, Brothers in Law even, not long ago, Dr Finlay's Casebook and lots more.

That's correct, Galen Juke Box Jury was a favourite. Was one of the presenters David Jacobs? Or was it Pete Murray?

Janice was originally on juke box jury

Hey you lot! Stop taking the p*ss out of my Wednesbury accent!

Bella That's so very sad, I can't imagine how dreadful your poor friends must feel.

Enjoy your trip (DO NOT TRIP!) I know you're visiting your sister so I hope she is feeling as well as she can be.

Bella That is such sad news regarding you friend's little girl. As you so rightly say, it puts our problems in perspective.

Enjoy the reunion this weekend. Do take the very best possible care of yourself PLEASE. We look forward to hearing from you once you are home again.

soop I loved the Black and White Minstrels. I suppose it isn't PC to admit it nowadays, but it was lovely, family entertainment and I had forgotten about John Boulter, but you reminded me. We all used to sit round as a family to watch it

Janice Nicholls was on 'Thank your lucky stars'. We all used to laugh at her saying 'oi'll boi it and I'll give it foive' too

Sad news this morning as we heard that our friends little girl has died, aged six years, after battling cancer for most of her life. She was always so happy and full of life it is very hard to believe she has gone. My heart aches for her parents who have done everything they could for her. Kind of puts our problems into perspective.

I am just about packed and ready for the off tomorrow morning. It will be good to see DH and my sister.

Hope you are all enjoying your weekend. Will be in touch.

Almost got the spelling right, Elegran
A Life of Bliss All good-natured stuff...

It was George Cole and the show was A Life of Bliss - I think.

Psyche - he/she was played by Percy Edwards.

Thank you anno...those radio wireless programmes were such a treat. Now who was it who owned Sikey/Syky/Sykie (the dog) Was it George Cole?

Galen of course there are no calories in vodka- it is clear and looks like water does it not? There are no calories in water, so simple. Jelly beans maybe more problematic but surely you would need to eat a shed load to put on that amount of weight. It is definitely the cakes in soop's kitchen.

The Glums were part of TIFH. Patricia Brake was only born in 1942 (according to Wiki) and played Ronnie Barker's daughter in Porridge. TIFH was scripted by the great Frank Muir and Denis Norden - the latter still alive well into his 90s.

Oh yes, The Glums...

No no, it was anno who remembered soop. I was way off track....... I may have been thinking about The Glums, that was Patricia Brake. Can't trust my memory these. Puddled..........
