People who were briefly famous

P.S.

Just looked it up, Carol Dilworth, ex The Golden Shot.

Anyone remember Fergus Fish? It was an hilarious cartoon. I loved it.

Does anyone remember the documentary in the 80's called The Family? I think it was classed as the 1st fly on the wall at the time. It followed the lives of a mum, dad and their children.

I remember that, the first reality show ever wasn’t it?

I can remember there was a programme called The Family, I think I watched some of it but can’t recall any of it except I think they have been dysfunctional..
Am I correct?

I remember watching a documentary programme featuring the Wilkins family from Reading during the 1970s but I can't remember what it was called.

I think we might be talking about the same programme, first shown in 1974, but maybe not.

Twinkle was actress Fay Ripley's aunt.

Twinkle was actress Fay Ripley's aunt.

Well, there's a claim to fame!

Twinkle - Lynn Ripley

I can remember a singer called Joe Dolce who had a number 1 hit in 1981 called Shaddap Ya Face, where he sang with an Italian accent. Never heard of again.

Not quite so long ago but a similar academic superstar was Gail Trimble. I just looked her up. She was on UC in 2009. I remember Mitch Benn wrote a song about her on the Now Show.

Abscess on Only Connect a few years back.

How does 'She was I'm morph into Abscess???

B hell! I do usually check! 'She was on'.

I suppose a lot of Big Brother winners would fall into this category as the show's popularity has fallen over the years. They'll probably get a feature in a celeb mag, be plastered all over a television station's website for a week, and then fade away,
