Me too BH, part of my growing up too, afternoons with all his characters, and then a number of years on Sunday Love songsQuote:

Sorry, but am I missing something here?

Stuart Organ - the longest serving actor in Grange Hill
John Savident - Fred Elliott in Coronation Street. "I say, I say, Ashley"
Stan Bowles. True maverick.
Proper maverick too. Mullet, sideburns no shin pads and a tremendous playerQuote:

Had he lived a life full of smoking and drinking, or excess of some other sort? :dunno:Quote:
