photos from the lost world of british light entertainment

The Rod Hull and friends shoot couldn’t have been 91 as UK Gladiators only started in 92

(Really important correction)

looks like the Rod Hull/Scorpio Turkey photoshoot is from 1 December 1992, the other pictures with Faith Brown, Ronnie Corbett etc are a different photoshoot from 20 November 1991

If only Immanuel Velikovsky was still alive. He would come up with a theory that the 1991 British Turkey Christmas photoshoot was actually the same photoshoot as the 1992 British Turkey Christmas photoshoot, and that our current dating of UK Gladiators was incorrect. And that the year 1990 did not happen. And that Not with a Bang and Lazarus and Dingwall were in fact the same television programme.

You could hold up an old style barbers with that replica shooter there...

I don't know how anyone could bring themselves to point a gun at Mr Pastry's poor hapless face

Before I saw the link text I was wracking my brain trying to remember who Gavin Campbell was

Plainly a very talented man.

Was going to say he's missed out "Diddy" David Hamilton but maybe "Diddy" David Hamilton doesn't have a twitter account.

don't think David's 1974 book David Hamilton's Beauty Tips for Women has been posted yet

but maybe "Diddy" David Hamilton doesn't have a twitter account.

imagine him signing up for twitter this week and getting all excited when he looks at the trending topics and then disappointed when he clicks through

I had totally forgotten that Des O'Connor had died

There are many other David Hamiltons out there, including the main indie DJ in Southampton in the 90s and an extremely dodgy photographer.

amazing that a 70s Radio 1 DJ is neither the dodgiest David Hamilton nor the dodgiest Diddy

OTM

i could swear Tarby died at least a decade ago

He's about to go on tour.

Misread that as he’s about to go in an hour!
