I last saw an ageing Vince Hill and his wife being interviewed on TV when the Rolf Harris 'matter' broke. They said they were shocked, couldn't believe it etc. but would stand by their friend whatever the outcome.

Perhaps ill-advised (probably not advised at all) with hindsight, but it was entirely genuine and actually quite a choker.

Sorry - not much 'Fun' from me there!

Palace since 19 August 1972. Palace 1 (Tony Taylor) Liverpool 1 (Emlyn Hughes)

Last saw him on Episode 4 of Series 12 of Grand Designs when he was pissed off at the house being built next door.

The Thames Boathouse
Kevin McCloud follows Lysette and Nigel Offley, who are knocking down an old Thames boathouse and constructing a cutting-edge home in its place. Taking inspiration from the river itself, they have designed a building of waves and curves with a huge glass porthole for a roof light. But problems begin almost from the start, as they can't find a contractor willing to build over the water, their architect leaves unexpectedly and the costs turn out much higher than expected. To make matters worse, the neighbours aren't happy about such a radical sight in their traditional community. As they begin to compromise, Kevin wonders if the couple's dreams will ever be realised.

I am deeply troubled by the fact I know this!

Gillotts?

Yeah, f**k. I guess that explains why I've not run into him. I wouldn't say we were close or friends, but I did know him to talk to (we were in the same remedial maths class). He had serious problems with heroin over the years.

Also he was a bit of a s**t, and a very absent father (Athol).
