Jimmy Nail. I came home and my wife had Radio 2 on. Ain't No Doubt was playing and I instantly thought of this thread.
Well, after first recalling my brother's rather creepy delivery of the, "She's lying" line he used to randomly come out with as a teenager.

Just further to Kenny Lynch’s songwriting, he spent part of the early 1970s co-writing album tracks for The Hollies. So much so that the Wikipedia tracklisting for their 1971 album Distant Light describes it as “all songs written by Kenny Lynch and Tony Hicks except where indicated”. One of the indicated tracks is Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress.

What happened to Mark Little? He was big in the 90s and then seemed to disappear or was that me loving abroad? He seems like the kind of comedian that would be in all the comedy quiz shows today.

Sue Cook. A flagship presenter for the BBC (Crimewatch, Breakfast Time, Children in Need, Nationwide, etc).and then disappeared off the face of the earth in the mid 90s after (I think) a major falling out.
Last time I heard her mentioned was as an unseen character in I'm Alan Partridge, but that was two decades ago.Last edited by Arturo; 28-10-2019, 17:39.

Just a couple of minor heads-up with people mentioned on this thread:
Jimmy Nail was in a lead role in Sting's musical The Last Ship about 5 years ago. I recall Gordon himself had to take over for the latter part of its Broadway run, as Mr Nail didn't provide sufficient 'name' value to attract in the average dithering New York punter, it would appear.
Tim Healy was never in New Tricks, that I recall, but he's been in a recurring role in Still Open All Hours since it began.
There have now been more episodes of Still Open All Hours than there were of the original Open All Hours.

I have a couple of minor connections to Gail Porter:
a) Her dad was my ex's (and my daughter's) landlord a couple of years ago.
b) I was present when Mark Lamarr reduced her to tears on NMTB. It was a truly grim experience - exacerbated when Ms Porter for reasons best known to herself decided to come on to him in the Green Room afterwards. (I can only assume that she perhaps wasn't well even that long ago.)
