The army should have done more for him,all those years in the jungle and such a meagre pension.

[puszilak]

@myepiphone he was an actor!

[TomthatiscalledTom]

It's rather sad to watch BUT Mr Estelle was drawing his pension by the time this was filmed, some 20 years after his heyday. For many of today's cardboard celebrities, this is their future in about five years' from now. Except that none of the shoppers will be stopping to buy their tat...

@TomthatiscalledTom thats true and the rate that shops are closing I don't think they'll have anywhere to sell stuff. Thanks for watching.

@TomthatiscalledTom

What's really sad is seeing him still wearing the Gunner Sugden costume all those years later. It's like people wouldn't recognize him without it.

[misterangry2009]

If he'd been any good at acting or adapting...he would have avoided such things.

Peter Kay or Johnny Vegas could probably do a great biopic

[seeriber]

Shame such a fantastic singer was reduced to this,

[west6459]

@seeriber I share the same feeling. Far too many talented people like him seemed to be kept out of television. Tech may have moved on but I think entertainment has moved backwards.

@seeriber

Ditto such a shame a BEAUTIFULL voice, Natural talent is so rare today, ya' here that Mr Cowell,!!
