replied on: 7/11/2005 8:58:10 PM 'Candid Camera', with good old Jonathan Routh. Who can forget the moving cars... without engines? and the many other genuinely laughable stunts, pulled on the unsuspecting public at large, by Jon and his expert team. This was a first class comedy show all round. Part of the team were Bob Monkhouse and Arthur Atkins. One of the best Candid Camera shows ever. The other similar series which eventually followed it over the years, were but pale comparisons of the original show. I wonder what happened to Jonathan Routh. He seemed to disappear from public view swiftly, once the show was over for good. Jonathan Routh, Bob Monkhouse and Arthur Atkins. The show ran from 1960 to 1967. Azzabuv.

replied on: 7/13/2005 12:00:43 AM Excellent site Philfred, but still no info on why H.L. wore a saucepan on his head. I suppose "Whirligig" was the forerunner of "Tiswas" |

replied on: 7/13/2005 12:41:36 PM 'The Cisco Kid' - The Mexican Robin Hood, ably assisted by his side-kick, Pancho. Good fun listening to Pancho's broken 'Spanglish', as it was called, along the lines of - "Pl-ee-s-e Ceesco...Let's went". A descent serious/comical Cowboy story. They DON'T make 'em like that any more........... The Cisco kid - Duncan Renaldo. Pancho - Leo Carillo. It was shown from 1954 to 1956. Azzabuv. |

replied on: 7/13/2005 1:04:38 PM 'Coronation Street'. I watched the first couple of years of the program, but after Minnie Caudwell died in the pub - of ALL places - i lost the heart to carry on. If anyone's interested in the full cast list, just drop a request. It began its TV life in 1960. Azzabuv. |
