Despite Lenny Henry being the 'face' for Premier Inns TV ad, it's a far superior chain. I have complained several times to Travelodge, who's policy it is NEVER to reply/reimburse. Just check out ANY Trip Advisor review on any given location for Travelodge. I will add more later.

I'm utterly convinced it was all leather, and not jeans. Mind you, my eyes were never far from that cleverage!

I've been vegetarian for many years, but do recall Wendy Burger when I was in the USA in the 80's. Tasted like a REAL burger compared to a Maccy D.

Very impressed to hear you made money out of Heather's artistic poses. Did you take the pictures? No, involved in distribution. Remember. This was the days when the internet wasn't as freely available for everyone to get free access to the pictures. And every member of the dirty mac brigade wanted to cop an eyeful. Especially as Heather had 2 legs back then, not the one and a half as we know her for these days.

The Beatles were on the way to breaking up. Yoko Ono has been unfairly painted at times. It's clear Macca and phoney John wanted to take the band in different directions, Yoko was the catalyst. Now, Heather is a snide fantasist BUT is involved in Animal Welfare, so I'll not be too harsh on her, besides, that famous disgusting 'porno shoot' as described by the media made me a few quid. (It was a tame softcore MF set) but my 'clients' demanded it!

FF-M all day long. Cheryl Ladd a distant 2nd. I adored Farrah, she oozed pure class. I STILL have my original posters of her. Worth a few quid as well.

Captain Black WAS a good guy, but when SPECTRUM stumbled across The Mystrons on Mars, they got trigger happy and shot at the peace loving Mystrons who got the ar*ehole over it. They whacked Cptn Black. The Mystrons are an invisible force and need a body to do their work. Seeing as Black was dead, they took his body and the rest is history. Cptn Scarlett was with Black, but survived, he obtained Mystrons special healing powers, making him indestructible.

I think that's ONLY Olive left now. Very dated 'comedy' with Stan and Jacks antics that would get them arrested these days. RIP Blakey

Diana Riggs legs in the picture does her NO justice at all. Last time I saw legs like hers was on an off-shore oil rig!

Does Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow in the Marvel films of The Avengers count? Gets my vote!

You joking here? Strummer all day long. No contest. Hate how Lydon has become a pantomime villain for the media. Sold out years ago. Strummer NEVER did.

I think the ONLY genuine sympathy message was from another talentless z-lister, Amanda Holden, who was a contestant on Blind Date that got Les Dennis drooling. He got a date, she saw an opportunity to climb socially and to nab a two-bob career at the same time. If not for Blind Date, she'd probably still be a dental nurse or cashier at Tesco or whatever she was doing prior to Blind Date.
Apparently her TV career was destroyed because she had been highly unpleasant to one of the runners on Blind Date. When this person reached a position of seniority he made sure that Cilla wasn't going to get any more TV work.

Not at all, just hate the false outpouring of grief over a has-been that had very little talent. My best friend is a scouser and attests she wasn't welcome in Liverpool since relocating to Buckingham years ago.

Tax exile. Her mate Ken Dodd taught her how to avoid paying her way.
Her dad who was a leading light in the dockers strike would be shocked at her avoiding paying tax......noboy likes paying it but when they need the NHS or want the police to catch crims that has to be paid for by hardworking Joe Bloggs taxes whilst she ponces off to Spain.
She was one of them strange group of old women who choose to hang about with the gays (see Barbara Windsor and Nancy Dell'Olio amongst others) for years this puzzled me. Then one day I figured it out. It's because they are too unpleasant to have any female friends and are forced to hang about with Gentlemen light in the Loafer, because they tend to be just as obnoxious (see Dale Winton and Cliff Richard*, amongst others) oh, and catty as well.
She made her name doing second rate cover Versions of Bacharach and David Songs. Interesting fact, Dionne Warwick always called her 'That bloody Women' You're my World is a great Record to be fair. But it is the performance of Johnny Pearson and his Orchestra, along with the George Martin's Production that make it great. Frankly I could have performed the vocals.
Her Television work was perfectly suited to her utterly false and warm persona. Sugary, smaltzy Bo**ocks that made her look like a working class girl done good, who was still 'one of us' at heart. Utter bilge, but millions of people lapped it up. She must have kissed her own @rse. She was washed up as a singer by about 1967 and yet remained in the public Eye for nearly 50 more Years.
Finally, like they do every time some UK "showbiz celebrity" shuffles off, I see they wheeled out Brucie and Tarby to pay tribute with their anecdotes and reminiscences. I always wonder who will do the same for them when they finally turn their toes up - if they ever do.
*allegedly

ALL rock music fans will mourn his passing after his portrayal of a dodgy Record Company boss in Spinal Tap. California resident for MANY years, so happy he kept his quintessential English accent and didn't have that yankee twang in his accent like Joan Collins or Jane Seymour.

I also remember him fronting a TV show called In Search Of... which showed episodes of mystery stuff like Bermuda Triangle, Loch Ness Monster and Easter Island. I think Time Tunnel was on before it as well. Essential viewing for a 14 year old.

Nice to see him referred to as Mr Spock. Winds me up no end when called Dr Spock. Always the best character in Star Trek and NEVER up his own posterior like Shatner.
