It makes me laugh how Harry says Don has had his voice box ripped out but you never hear him complain about it.... well i guess you wouldn't

@morningbirdfeeder - Hey Morngingbridfeeder, just curious, you say "too bad to go out that way" - what is an acceptable way to g out that' not "too bad". Actually, I hope I go out in a blaze of glory - chances are, it will be much less dramatic - but why say "too bad"? We all sign off one way or another...

[morningbirdfeeder]

sounds like quite a guy, too bad to go out that way

I wonder what Tommy Trinder would make of his beloved Fulham now!?

Oh, WOW !!! I can't believe this footage.

At the end there's a close up of the Roy Ullyett drawn cover of the programme for the evening. As I type I have my copy in front of me - SIGNED by Cockell, Floyd Patterson, Henry Cooper, Harry Carpenter, Ken "They think its all over" Wolsttenholme, Tommy Trinder, Dickie Henderson and Dave "Boy" Green.

I can't tell you what it means to me to see this film of all of them. As Tommy Trinder would say - "You lucky people".
