I wonder if that Killer Spray will work on my neighbour? She's a bloody pest.

This is actually from 1967 - I read on the Missing Episodes forum (missing - episodes . com) that this clip is from the summer of 1967 and is part of a Rediffusion off-air that includes continuity for Wimbledon, and 5 minutes of an edition of This Week. Excellent clip - thanks very much for sharing! B-)

@chrissy17169 Oh right, yes

@TheKenfig this gets sadder by the minute! i can remember slater was a contributor on this is your life just a week after he died.the announcer had to say that his relatives gave permission to go ahead. those eerie announcements were commonplace whenever a programme had been recorded shortly before one of its stars passing.i got his age wrong he would have been 95 this year.so sad

@TheKenfig have seen it on youtube before but of course i knew what to expect as opposed to actually watching it live at that time.apparently the curtains closed and itv went straight to an ad break. an unscheduled ad break may have raised suspicions that maybe something was wrong.thanks again for your feedback

@chrissy17169 Well, not at the time, but it's on here ; Youtube if you didn't know. It's understandable that they thought it was a gag. Same with Sid James back in 76. They thought it was part of the show when he died. Even when someone said "Is there a doctor in the house ?", everyone laughed. Lol, it sounds funny I can't help chuckle

@TheKenfig how about 84.we lost cooper.morecambe bosanquet dors within weeks of each other,as well as several others in 83-84. i class this as the end of an era from non pc to altenative comedy so called pc.cooper died live on tv.didn't see it. did you? if so ,did you realise what had happened or think it was part of the act? knew someone who watched it and says he knew he was dead right away.never believed him.

@chrissy17169 Well I am 48 now until next week !. Its like when Benny Hill & Frankie Howerd passed away within a day or so of each other in '92. I think Harvey went in 1973, but I remember The Sun feature on his life etc when it happened. I have quite a good memory for when I was young as I can remember stuff I know to be when I was 3 years old and by the time I was 4 I can remember loads of stuff from tv, radio pop charts, having new records etc. I remember LOADS from 1967 vividly

[chrissy17169]

@TheKenfig yes!!!!!!!!!!!!.not quite as old as you as i was only 11 at the time,but i remember my dad reading the birmingham post and as he held it up a front page headline read "john gregson dies at 58 and john slater dies at 55".dont know much about laurence harvey but as i said before isn't it odd that we can recall that long ago yet forget what happened last week?maybe because it was a less complex world back then

[TheKenfig]

@chrissy17169 Do you know , I bloody remember that now you've said. I'm not just saying that now, but I remember seeing it in The Sun newspaper about Gregson and Stone around the same time when I was 12 years old....AND I remember reading in The Sun about Laurence Harvey death earlier but roughly in the same era !

[chrissy17169]

@TheKenfig given up on any reaction after 3 months! according to wikipedia he died of an illness related to injuries in a car crash some years previous to his death. for some weird reason i remember it was jan1975 within days of john gregson dying,yet i can't even remember what happened yesterday! special k didn't kill him of course but look at the amount of sugar in that bowl . shouldn't lol. thanks for replying

[TheKenfig]

@chrissy17169 Jesus, John Slater eh ?. I remember him well as sgt Stone on Z Cars but haven't given him a thought in all those years !!. You're right, I think he didn't die until the mid '70s, but I doubt if Special K killed him !!.
