I saw Barnum too, excellent!

My half sister used to play with him when they were small. His nan and mine were neighbours. There is a day centre in our town named after him, deservedly so.

I adored him then kitty but wasn't it the programme that came after TW3? Can't remember what it was called.

I don't think anything can beat the rollerskate stunt he did on Some Mothers! Being towed by the bus up and down slopes - brilliant grin

Not So Much a Programme, More a Way of Life - Deedaa smile

I find it hard to connect the current day Michael Crawford with his portrayal of Frank Spencer. It's as though they're two completely different performers.

That's the one kitty smile My mother and I used to loved his bit.
