Scouse Eddie Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 My Liverpudlian friend sending me constant snippets from the Liverpool Echo would suggest otherwise. Forgetting roots is not really an issue. Lorra Lorra laughs and all that, got a few quid and moved out to leafy suburb not a problem with that, but then becomes a big thatcherite tory toff. Forgetting roots !! as Ricky Tomlinson says MY ARSE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pool Q Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 (edited) Couldn't care less about her political views, up to her. And she may well have been a lovely person, never met her. But cant think of a single thing she did in her career that I liked. None of the songs; Blind Date and Surprise, Surprise were simply awful; the Saturday night show she did in the 70s encapsulated everything that was wrong with TV in that era. To be fair to her she admitted she was awful at, and uncomfortable with, comedy. And it showed. Edited August 3, 2015 by Pool Q Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phart Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 My Gran's sister didn't like her at all. Something about the folk she hung out with, can't mind really. Maybe Savile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newtownards Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Staunch supporter of the Tories in the 80s and stated "Thatcher put the Great into Great Britain" Appeared at the Tory party rally in 1992 and called for John Major to be re-elected Then in 2004 she denied that she was a Tory and was actually "apolitical" Signed the Guardian's letter opposing Scottish Independence in August 2014 Aye she was a doll Get Jimmy Tarbuck up next That must have hurt..... all them years.....

Big Col Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Blind Date - pish as it was - was part of my regular saturday night entertainment for a while in my youth. Carry out purchased about 5pm, then round to my mates to watch Baywatch, Gladiators and then Blind Date. Then head out for a pint. Anybody suggesting Noels House Party got put on was quickly shouted down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoonTheSlope Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Does anyone else remember "Man oh Man"?? that thing with Chris Tarrant based on Blind Date?? They were in Ibiza/Marbella or some 18-30 shagging place and the men would line up next to a swimming pool and if the wifey didn't fancy them she'd push him in the pool and the last one standing was the winner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
