Cliff Richard is now Barbadian

Other crimes he has committed against music must surely be the execrable musical he wrote and starred in back in the 90s- Heathcliffe. Strangely enough even then 20 years ago his eyes were dead - maybe he's been dying behind those eyes for his whole life.

I think, though I could be wrong, that he has had a number one in every decade since the 50's - If the charges are dropped, or he gets found not guilty this could propel him to his seventh in a row

I was just trying to remember if anyone serving a prison sentence has ever had a number one during their time inside?
Would this be a criminal record?
I am getting my coat!
 
Mrs Sprocket has never liked Cliff Richard but tolerated him. Her hatred began when back in the nineties he stole and uttered the classic line;
''I am Heathcliffe''
I remember her screaming at the TV at the chatshow he was on, stating he was the antithesis of Heathcliffe and should be charged with his murder!
We were only talking about this yesterday.

I am sorry to inform you PM that Bob Monkhouse tore Frankie to pieces in his autobiography, Crying With Laughter, it made me see him in a different light.

I remember that and I remember thinking "He's no fucking Heathcliff".

I picked that up on vhs in a charity shop last year, before I remembered I don't have a video :oops:
Another thing to add to the 'burn it' pile...

Another here today, sorry, here yesterday and still gone today gag man who stole a living like his mate Bruce Forsyth, it is amazing what you read when stuck in hospital.:)
Monkhouse was another relic from the dawn of light entertainment, his obsession with recording himself was very narcissistic and verged on the edge of madness at one point.
His treatment of women whilst on tour was terrible allegedly.
Like Thatch he is still dead.
But I am not aware of Thatch being allegedly sexually assaulted by both Tyrone Power and Frankie Howard, not at the same time may I add.

have you read her 'the path to power'?
 
OK, maybe I sound pompous. But real people are complaining about being really hurt. And CR is a real person, believe it or not, who has yet to be charged with anything, let alone found guilty.
Harrumph.
 
I saw Jim Davidson at Edinburgh last week as part of his re-invented post-modernist tainted national treasure. That's another story but half of the show was him saying what the year of enforced rest was like and what it was like to be a pariah for so long - not many laughs in that segment. One of the charges apparently was that he snapped a woman fan's suspender belt when he left the stage back in the 70s. He asked one of the cops on the case why this had even got on the charge sheet - the copper shrugged and pointed 'upstairs'. He did keep saying though a good job that Charlie Drake was dead and buried.

Howerd had a very curious modus operandi.

I opened my briefcase and pulled out the manuscript we were supposed to be working on. 'Never mind that,' he said. 'I need to take the weight off my leg.'

He began to ease himself on to the sofa next to me, but halfway down, suddenly, his face contorted, he clutched his thigh and began to yelp with pain. 'What is it?' 'It's my groin! No, ooh, ah, ow. . .' Clutching himself, he collapsed in a heap at my side.

He closed his eyes and murmured: 'You know what to do.'

'I don't,' I blanched. 'You do.' 'I don't.' I did not know what to say or do. I couldn't make my excuses and leave because the door was locked and the key was in Frank's trouser pocket. I walked to the window and stood there staring out.

Then, as if nothing had happened, Frank said: 'Now, let's get down to it, young man. There's work to be done.' We did the work and shared a taxi back to Kensington. As he got out of the cab, I hugged him. Odd as this may seem, I felt somehow that I had let him down. 'You won't tell Dennis [Heymer, Frankie's partner for 30 years] will you?' he pleaded, looking at me pathetically. 'Promise?' 'Promise,' I said.[

POSTSCRIPT: Nine years later, on Tuesday, September 5, 1989, Gyles wrote:

At breakfast, Max Bygraves told me that the experience I had with Frankie Howerd is exactly the experience he had with Frank when they appeared in panto together almost 40 years ago. 'He's doing it all the time,' said Max.

Better than sounding like you though roly-poly-bend-down-for-crowley boy. Your irrelevant pedantry coupled with your tedious and woefully unfunny digs at other posters mean you regularly bring absolutely fuck all to the table - Have a look at yourself, really. Gaseous blowhard wanker.

Maybe have a look at yourself mate. Is that your first post on this thread? You want a pop at someone, no one gives a fuck. Sort it out yourself. 'Tedious, woefully, gaseous,' Blah. Rubbish words. Nothing.
