Feck. John Sessions now. He was as clever and witty as Stephen Fry thinks he is.

I was surprised to hear that sad news.

I always had Mike McShane down as the more likely heart attack victim when I watched Whose Line is it Anyway.

And now Geoffrey Palmer has exited the stage for the last time.

Good innings though. He seems to have been old for as long as I’ve been alive.

That's sad. I think she took over from Miss Adrienne just as I was growing out of Romper Room. Hardly ever saw me in the magic mirror mind!

Local Myth tells the tale of a kid dropping the F bomb on Romper Room. Screen went blank for 10 seconds and when it returned there was one less kid.

Knowing Miss Helen I'm sure she would have enjoyed the retelling of that,--if true pure Belfast was a forte of hers. " Did your Mammy teach you that word Tryone ? -- what a wonderful vocabulary she must have !!! It must the magic word for the light switch "
