I heard the news last night. Yes he was often ridiculed for being old fashioned but for that read reliable. He was also a record breaking Olympic sprinter in his youth......

RIP.

I never found Fawlty Towers funny. What's funny about bullying a Spanish waiter. I'm surprised they still show it in these 'woke' days.

She was good in the film Outside Edge,

and as one of Hobson's younger daughters in "Hobson's Choice" (The Charles Laughton version).
